insert HTML code from file into HTML page

[donelson]

I have around 100 web pages on a site. Most of these pages are the same, except for some HTML.

I'd like to #include the complex, bulk HTML from a file into each page, so that I can easily change the bulk HTML in one place and have it "appear" when the other pages get loaded into a browser.

The bulk HTML has seven <div's> in it, some with tables and text and images, etc.

I cannot use PHP or server-side scripting to php-include etc, because this has to run offline.

I tried using:

<object type="text/html" data="myFile.htm"></object>

but it doesn't place the clean HTML cleanly into the page -- it appears in some kind of scrolling div or something.

I also tried using the DOM to create a text node, but couldn't get the div's in the bulk file to actually appear in the page.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Run PHP offline in batch mode to produce static pages maybe ?

I did have the <object> solution working yesterday, but I must have changed something, somewhere, because it doesn't work anymore (not that it's very complex).

What I see now when I look at the page source in the browser is:

blah
<object data="foo.htm">
blah

whereas before, when it worked, I saw the expaned foo.htm inline in the page code.

Go figure.
