Let say you are working on a website template that has many pages (index.html, blog.html, contact.html…). You start by designing the home page and then move on to other pages. While you are on other pages, you think of some improvements and these improvements must affect the whole website.

So I return to each page and make the change. This is quite unproductive especially when you have 6 or more pages and sometimes you forget to update the change.

If it were PHP, I would do

require ('header.php');

This worked for me well. But right now, I’m working on HTML and don’t really like to transform to PHP and then again to HTML.

So do you have a specific method/way of doing this?

    If you’re working with HTML pages, (e.g. including extensions .htm and .html), consider using Server Side Includes. This approach works with basic HTML parsing, and is supported by most/all major web servers, including Apache and IIS.

    Simply include this text in your .html file:

     <!--#include virtual="header.html" -->

    The web server will then fetch the markup in that file, and will insert it inline in the page it’s currently serving.
