I have some html code that runs ok, but want to put it into an include file. It executes in the shtml file, but does nothing in the include file. I have not done this, any one have any examples or what I need in the include file to make it work. I need help please.

Are you trying to do a java script include?

By the looks of it, you are trying to use SSI.

The rule of thumb is:
If the file to be included is in the same folder as the file that calls it, you use

If, however, the included file is in another folder, the syntax is


The 'included.html' can also be a .txt file. I used to have the 'main file', the one that calls the includes, as a .shtml file, but it may be possible to use just .html, it depends on your server.

Of course you will have to upload the files in order to test them, unless you have wamp, xamp, winamp or one of these server packets installed.

SSI is actually a pretty old way of including content from one file into another, nowadays php includes are more common.
