How do I include one HTML file in another?

Do you mean display rather than include? If so use an iframe. If you mean include then you should read about using Server Side Includes, which allow you to call other other files in using an SSI call on the page.

There is also Ajax

This can also be used with lightbox and other things.

Hi,
Is simpler using a PHP require, like this:
<?php require('header.php'); ?>

In the file you want to include just use simply HTML code.

I suggested this because Iframes requires more line codes and is more hard in formating in the correct position.

Regards.

Change the .html to .php

Here's a good example of how to include:

Make your your html document like this:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<a href="http://www.example.com/index.php">Home</a> - 
<a href="http://www.example.com/about.php">About Us</a> - 
<a href="http://www.example.com/links.php">Links</a> - 
<a href="http://www.example.com/contact.php">Contact Us</a> <br />

Create an index.php file to look like this:

Code:

<?php include("menu.php"); ?>
<p>This is my home page that uses a common menu to save me time when I add
new pages to my website!</p>
</body>
</html>

That's how you 'simplify the process'...Enjoy!

Are you talking about displaying another web page inside a web page? If so this is done by using "Iframe" it allows you to display a page inside a page.

Simply you can do it like
<?
php include("index.php");
?>
