Common Page Header - Post ID 248534

Previously, with my static site, I used an include statement at the top of every page to include the site banner, Google site search, main menus, and social icons. Now that I've got that re-created in RSD, I need to go on to all the other top-level pages in my site.

I'm tempted to duplicate the current page to make the additional pages I need, but I'm concerned about being able to update the common header just once when necessary. Should I make these common elements into a separate file, then insert them as an HTML 'include' element?

I'd appreciate any guidance you might have.

As long as you're not using SDrive, you can use PHP Includes to do this. ;)

<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12">
<div class="html-element"><!--#include virtual="/dc-new-nav.html" --></div>
</div>
</div>
If I create a HTML element to contain the include, RSD then creates a corresponding 'row,' 'span,' and 'html-element' class which affects the formatting of my navigation bar. Is it possible to insert a 'raw' include in RSD? If I remove all the added divs and pare it down to just the include, it looks fine.
<!--#include virtual="/dc-new-nav.html" -->

If you leave your html element to auto and none like it is when you add it to the page it should be fine for your include.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

.row {
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);
margin: 0 auto;
border: 0;
}
.row .coffee-span-12 {
width: 100%;
}
.html-element {
min-height: 50px;
min-width: 10px;
position: relative;
}
I'm pretty sure these are the default values.

Do you have a link to a page with it?
