Adding HTML code to a page from another source
How do I embed HTML code into my HTML document from another file - say for example if I have a side nav that never changes and do not want to keep adding the same HTML code to my other pages to display. Ideally a link to a simple sidenav.html that embeds it into the document would be great. I don't want to use frames or CGI/ASP to achieve this
Thanks, your comments would be welcomed

I have just recently ventured into that part of the woods. I found the best way to be using a perl script to edit a .txt file that is included in your html using SSI. Apparently what you are looking for is a more dynamic form, where your links don't have to reload and stuff. Well the only way I can think of doing something like that would be a Dynamic PERL script, or to use frames...ewww.(I hate frames).
Just some suggestions.

Your best bet is with SSI but your host must support it. If SSI is not an option then you might want to try using a JS import file. You can import JavaScript code and use the document.write() method to embed HTML.
