Topic: link/embed external html file

Is it possible to link/embed a html file into a portion of you're code.

Lets say all of you're pages use the same element, say you have a box on the right side of you're page with something in it. Is it possible to store the code for this element in another html file, say myBox.html and embed that into you're other pages, that way if you change something on it you dont hvae to update each page?

I've never actually tried this before and thought the option would be availalbe, but either i'm doing something wrong or its not allowed?

Please advise, thanks

What your looking at here is a server side include, or SSI...and as such this thread belongs in the Server-side forums...sending it there now
