I want to include static features in all pages of a web site- things like
banners, main menus, etc. - and would like some help in what is the
'standard' way(s) to do this.
I've done this before using Java Server pages which have an include
directive but JSP is not an option.
It appears that server side includes (SSI) and scripting (CGI) are the
options. (JSP and ASP are not available from the web host). Is there
another approach?
It seems overkill to make every page on the site a script when most pages
are static but I don't want to have copies of the boilerplate that have to
be maintained in every file.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
