seeking a client side include similar to server side include

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

Much of our website has divs that occur on all pages eg a sidebar, a banner etc. With ASP, it is possible to have the server insert a text file into the web page. In this way, repeating parts of the website need only be edited in one place. In ASP, this is called a Server Side Include.

Is it possible to do something similar when creating the web site on a local PC. My idea is that I would place an include instruction throughout the various pages in a folder and then run a utility that would automatically insert the files that are to be included into the various pages. This utility would also copy these pages, as static HTML files, into another folder ready for upload to the web server.

I know I can set up a web server with an ASP engine on the pc and then using 'View Source' within Internet Explorer save a copy of the file, with all the divs included, as a HTML file in another folder. But I am hoping there is an easier way of doing this task.

Any ideas would be very welcome.

Regards
John
