Hi there. basically what we are trying to do is create a default footer
page (links.html) which we can then have on every one of our pages,
meaning we dont have to change loads of pages, but just one page
(links.html) if things need altering.

Now i will hear you say use php, or asp.. i know I can do this, but the
client has requested us to not use that, nor use JS, and that his page
extension must remain as .html.

I tried using an iframe, but this did not work as expected..it showed
the content of links.html ok, but when the user views the page, all
they basically see is <iframe src="links.html"></iframe> rather than
the other stuff in links, so imageing if links.html contained:

<a href="some_page.html">test link</a>

then viewing our current main page would also show that, thus it looks
like all the links etc within the links.html page, also appear in the
source of the main page, this is for SEO reasons etc.

Any ideas please?

Thanks for your time

Yes. Given the restrictions you mention, put the footer on every
page. If you change it, do it auto with a simple Find and Replace
in any decent text editor. And structure you files in such a way
that you can easily upload to the server, keep all the html files
concerned in their own folders without other things like pics -
so you don't need to comb thru to select them out...

Ahh. i thought that may be the case, so theres no other way of doing it
without the use of say ASP, JS or PHP, just solely in html?

I have a similar issue and if you rule out php, asp, ssi, js etc then
dorayme's solution is the only one I could find that worked. I started using
a find and replace tool, but have recently moved on to a html-preprocessor,
but the basic solution remains the same - put it in the html files and be
prepared to do global find and replace when necessary.

ssi

Isnt that part of ASP?

I have seen something on that, and think i tried it? although i cant
remember. Do you have something special set up in order for it to work?

Cheers

Actually now, ive got the other problem. I tried using JS, that worked
fine to display the information, but when i view the source, all i see
is the following;

<script src="javascript/footer_test.js">
</script>

What im after is for the contents of footer_test.js which is basically
html links, to also be shown on this main page of source if that makes
sense.

Any ideas

Are you talking about including the contents of a footer in a html page or
in a php page or in an asp page?

I don't use server side includes (because my original host didn't support
them), but I believe that ssi is quite independent of asp (or php etc). The
Apache documentation puts it more clearly than I could
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html): "They [SSI] let you add
dynamically generated content to an existing HTML page, without having to
serve the entire page via a CGI program, or other dynamic technology." So,
ssi is implemented by the webserver and is different from asp, php etc where
it delegates to another application. (I'm sure someone will put me right if
I'm mistaken.)

Sorry, my knowledge of ssi is rather lacking. A search through the Apache
documentation should show you what you need to know. If you are using IIS
then this might be a good starting place -
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q203064, but to be
honest its just the first relevant looking article that came up when I
searched for "ssi iis".

Just use SSI. Easy.

well our hosting company uses IIS and we can do custom stuff on it
anyway, so im thinking that now rules out SSI's
