I'm moving this thread to the CGI/Perl help forums, and I will reply to you there. This thread is now closed in the graphics/design forum.

Ok, now to answer your questions
1. SSI = Server Side Includes. Basically, the server parses the html document and outputs commands. The one you are probably thinking of using is the "include" command.
2. USAGE
Let's say you had a file that you wanted to use as the sidebar named side.html. Simply place this code in the HTML document where you want the sidebar to appear:
If the side.html file was in the /sidebar directory, you would put:
So, it's file if the file you want to include is in the same directory and virtual if it is not in the same directory. Also note that depending on what host you are with you may need to rename your pages to have a .shtml or .shtm extension. I hope this explains it!
