Hi

I have an application which consist of only static pages.
there are almost 45 html files each having the footer code (which is same for every page)

so what i want to do is to have that footer code in one file and include that in each of the html.

i searched on net and found out SSI and javascript.
SSI looks scary to me as i can't test that in local host and all and this is a customer facing web site.

with javascript - there are two links also in the footer - they stops working if i take that code in javascript.

i'm using document.write("<html code>")
please help - i've to deliver code tomorrow

You can write a frame or iframe tag with src = your footer. Most people discourage frames for the main body of pages for a number of reasons, but you might find they work here. It's an extra trip from the browser to the server to get the embedded page which may be a factor for you.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Ishita,

SSI was the hallmark of StoryServer - at a certain period a very successful Vignette content management web platform for the enterprise.

You can trust it ;-)

yeah i looked on the option of using frames and iframes but both are browesr depenedent - it seems.

and my website is customer facing so not sure what kind of browsers they may use.
