That's a great tip, Paul. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Nathan,

Technically - not so. In reality (and for the OP) - yes. :-)

You determine (in the configuration of the Apache server) which
documents should be scanned for SSI directives. The "norm" was to
identify these documents with an extension of .shtml. But if you want to
include a standard header/footer on every page, then you would specify
that all documents with an extension of .html should be searched.

Apace configuration requires:-

Options +Includes
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html


I think the concerrn about the SSI overhead is from many years ago with
slower servers and slower transmission speeds. I use SSI for this
header/footer method on the systemideveloper.com site (running off an
iSeries on V5R3) and have never noticed any type of performance hit.

One concern I've heard expressed about SSI is that it forces the HTTP server to scan every document served, looking for <!--#include virtual="..." --> tags.

Did Aaron's post about the include SSI address what you've been looking
for?


Yes and no. SSI seems like a workable solution. I'd also like to see an HTML tag implementation. Something like:

<insert id="insert" src="...">

Where the browser requests a static file to be inserted at the <insert> point. Or with JavaScript:

document.getElementByID("insert").src = "...";
