This seems to be mostly useful for people creating small websites that<br>
are afraid of server side scripting languages like PHP, Python and<br>
Ruby.</blockquote><div><br>I'm really going to have to point at this. If your server provider doesn't include PHP or something similar, there's something wrong. There are *tons* of dirt-cheap providers that do. Using, say, PHP doesn't even require anyone to *learn* anything. The example from the original email would simply be:<br>
<br>--- Master Document ---<br>
<html><br>
<head><br>
<title>Include Example</title><br>
<?php include "global_head.ihtml"; ?><br>
</head><br>
<body><br>
<?php include "header.ihtml"; ?><br>
<?php include "<a href="http://www.pagelets.com/foo.ihtml" target="_blank">http://www.pagelets.com/foo.ihtml</a>"; ?><br>
<?php include "footer.ihtml"; ?><br>
</body><br>
</html><br>
<br>
--- Header.html ---<br>
<div id="header"><br>
<h1>Header</h1><br>
</div><br><br><br>You can even do html fragments or attributes. There's literally nothing to learn over the current proposal, but this works right now in virtually every host and doesn't depend on the user's browser.<br>
