That type of include (<?) needs to happen in a PHP file, you have it in an HTML file. You probably need to use SSI include. The style of include needs to match the type of source file, not the type of file being included.

I've idea about how to write include syntax in a html file. http://www.seobbsr.com/

Hi Leo, thanks for this informative article.

Suggestion to all those who want to include html in html and don't know much about servers, php and or ssi: Use the client-side method described here. It's easy and it works as long as Javascript is not disabled on the visitors browser. For this case you still can add this:
<noscript>Please enable Javascript in your Browsersettings!</noscript>

cheers

Thank-you for the helpful info on %includes.
I've used them in programming in other non-web languages (PL1, JCL PL/SQL etc), but not in web context.

Text at top/left of web pages often contributes to a page's ranking for search engines. If this text is removed, a menu for example, to a seperate document (by any of the described methods) will this likely mean the page has a lower ranking with such keyword text omitted?

I READ THIS ARTICLE, IT DOESN'T HELP AT ALL FOR CLIENT SIDE SCRIPTS aka INCLUDING A FILE IN ANOTHER FILE...

HERE IS A VERY HELPFUL ARTICLE:

http://www.moock.org/webdesign/javascript/client-side-include/index.html

I finally got my problem solved, which was not only a client side include, but a client side include where I had to calculate which include to include. (Did I make myself clear or what? ;-> )
I wanted to include the daily watchwords (see www.ebu.org) in my "Outlook Today" page.

This is my code (I hope it shows well):

function fuehrendeNull(wert)
{
if (wert")

If the cite-tags are showed, they are the ones which shouldn't show...
If it doesn't show at all or only very strange, my trick is to do a "document.write" that writes ANOTHER "script"-Statement, in which the variable is inserted.

Well, the code didn't show really well.
Here it is again, only with much less
