Dear friends,
I have many HTML files and they all have some common HTML code which is
basically bunch of tags which are in all the files. How can I put the common
code in one file and then share it in all the files? It is some thing like
following in all the HTML files which I have.
<HTML>
<HEAD> Common </HEAD>
<BODY>
.... Common code/tags
</BODY>
</HTML>
I want to do this so that I don't have to edit all the files if some common
code has changed. Your help is very much appreciated.

Try PHP. Its very simple code. If your server supports PHP, just include
this in your 'index.php' page wherever you want the changing content to go:
<?php
if (!isset($_GET['p'])) {
include("includ es/default.php");
} else {
include("includ es/" . $_GET['p'] . ".php");
}
?>
On your menu, or wherever the links go to load the different content, use
this code:
<a href="index.php ?p=PageName">Li nk Text</a> (notice that the links do not
have a file extension. The php code adds .php to the link and grabs the
file from the includes directory).
All of your content should be saved in a directory called "includes" and
they should have the extension .php
If you have any questions, there are links to PHP tutorials on my website
at
http://s94621231.onlinehome.us
(getting a domain name soon).
So you have:
-index.php (your 'common code' with the php code mentioned above)
-includes (directory that contains the files you want to include)
