Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me out, I'm a web deisgner/xhtml builder, professionally I normally design/build a site and then pass it on to a development team for them to make the whole thing work functionally, therefore I have no knowledge of programming languages at all. However I have been asked to put together a site for a friend, as part of this site there is a links area that is included on every page. Obviously I don't want this area to be hard coded on each page due to the obvious updating issues. Therefore I wish to include a separate .htm file containing this links area, into each page. After some research I found out that this is mainly done in .asp, but after looking at my host company I have discovered that they don't support .asp only .perl and .cgi, therefore can anyone give me the complete code to be able to add my include .htm file in my core .htm files? Thanks in advance for your help. Rachael Nelson Update: I don't have SSI on the sever I am working on. Cheers Rachy
