Is it possible to insert a html file into another html file?

Like when you have 2 DIV's (nav and content) and you want only that the content changes with links in the nav.

Because DIV's are only good for changing the layout easily, not for content. If you have 30 pages in div (nav and content in one page), and you need to change one simple link, (not the layout of it, but the content) than you still have to change every 30 pages!
Before, when I worked with frames instead of div's, I could change that link in one page and it was immediately on the whole site changed because it was in an apart frame. But on this board they said: "don't work with frames, that's so 90's, work with div's... blabla", and now those div's gave me problems with content maintenance.

I don't want to use iframes because it gave me already much problems in IE7 (the user has to choose it in his own internet properties to allow content/layout from iframes).

You can work with php or asp, but I don't know how these things work, and than you need a server with php etc...

I saw something like this:

(but i guess this only works in IE and not in FF)

Or is there some other possibility to get content changed in html easily?
I want content totally separated from the site and the layout too.

Nope you can't.. If you want to use html within a html file frames would be the only way. The problem with frames is that its old and hardly anyone uses it plus frames are not good for website optimization.

So... because frames are old, they are not usefull anymore?

Because bricks for houses are old, they don't use bricks anymore to build houses, or because some rock bands are old, they're not good anymore.
It's not because no one is using it, it's not good for the system I need?

So there is no solution than?

I forgot to tell you probably can try using SSI. If you want to learn more information about SSI click here

Or learn PHP or ASP.Net (ASP.Net free download on microsoft site)

YES you can do this and it does NOT require frames !!!

This method DOES work in FF and should work in IE 6 and 7 - if you read the article it tells you that.

And here's a solution for CSS to make it look like frames:

Hmm !
Nice, could be main solution:
<a href=”something.html#interesting” target=”anything”>Go to the interesting section</a>
<object id=”anything” data=”something.html” type=”text/html”>
<p>backup content<p>
</object>

I'll test it out later

@all: thnx for advice.

Aargh, it's still not working here!
Hmm, i suck in making websites

I think i'm going to do it with 2 frames again. Maybe most easy solution for me.
In every frame the div's i'll use with one css file, so i can still change layout quite easily.
