Inserting Menu

[Prince]

I want to insert a DHTML menu in my web page (lets say 1.html).
But I want to put DHTML menu code in (menu.html) and I want 1.html to pull it from menu.html when ever 1.html is loaded.

Does anyone know can this be done in DHTML/Javascript? or with any other script?

compatiblity with browser (mainly Netscape 4+ and IE4+ is must)

thanx

In your header of whatever file you need to include in...

<script src="sourcefile.js"></script>

That will include everything from sourcefile.js in the current page.

-edit-
Of course, that is for including Javascript into your page, which is basically DHMTL stuff...

JS is different from DHTML. I found a way for my menu to work as I want. Wouldn't apply to anyone else.
But basically nothing to do that, unless Server Based dynamic webpages are used

Have you considered using server side includes (ssi), or PHP include function? Those would easily do it for you I think.

Just curious. Which webservers support SSI. (I am guessing, running a saved SSI coded webpage on HD will not use SSI)

[Grizzly]

Nearly all leading Web Servers today support SSI commands. Apache & IIS being the most prominent.

And you're right, double clicking on a web document on your harddrive will NOT parse the SSI commands, you need to view the page through a web server in order to have the SSI commands parsed. It's best to setup a simple web server on your local machine for that kind of testing.
