[SOLVED] Is there a HTML version of PHP INCLUDE?

[webmaster1]

Please don't send this to the html forum. The post is in relation to mimicking a PHP function. 

 

PHP INCLUDE is a convenient way of editing universal sections of pages. It's much quicker to edit one file than several.

 

Let's say a hosting account doesn't support server side. Is there a HTML or possibly a JAVASCRIPT workaround? 

 

Belated please and thank you in advanced!

The only to do this in html is to use Server Side Includes if your host uses Apache. There is no other way to include files if you host does not support PHP, SSI or any other server side language.

You can "include" another file with an iframe.  Or if it's js code, you can use the src attribute in script tags.  Or you can use ajax to grab a file's output contents.

Thanks lads. The correct terminology is half the battle when schooling ourselves online! The specific site I'm working does not support PHP due to the chosen hosting account type.
