Title: Embed HTML File
Post by: gavinwebb on February 01, 2012, 01:32:17 AM

Sorry, this must be a stupid question!
On my index page I want to embed an external HTML file to contain the main body of my home page e.g. the blurb about the app.

I currently have this:  - Ideally I want to take the HTML between the header and footer tags and put it into a separate HTML file, but how do I tell it to include it here?

<!-- Net:PageHeaderTag -->
<br />
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="middlesection">Text for the middle</div>
<div id="leftsection">Text for the left</div>
<div id="rightsection">Text for the right</div>
</div>
<!-- Net:PageFooterTag -->

maybe

<!-- Net:PageHeaderTag -->
<!-- Net:f:client/MyBody.txt -->
<!-- Net:PageFooterTag -->
where MyBody.txt is the HTML code that you want to insert

hmmm....maybe, does the "client" bit suggest the file will be on the client?
I anticipated this would be a .html file somewhere in the web folder on the server?

no, Terry had assumed you made a folder called "client" in your web folder, and put the MyBody.Txt in there.

you could just as easily make myBody.txt in the web folder, then the include tag becomes
<!-- Net:f:mybody.txt -->

The f: part of the tag tells it the next bit is a filename, and to include that file in this place.

Obviously you could be a lot more creative, so that "different clients" see different .txt files - that's where Terry had jumped ahead to.
