Include another HTML file in a HTML file

JavascriptHtmlDomInclude

Javascript Problem Overview


I have 2 HTML files, suppose a.html and b.html. In a.html I want to include b.html.

In JSF I can do it like that:

<ui:include src="b.xhtml" />

It means that inside a.xhtml file, I can include b.xhtml.

How can we do it in *.html file?

Javascript Solutions


Solution 1 - Javascript

In my opinion the best solution uses jQuery:

a.html:

<html> 
  <head> 
    <script src="jquery.js"></script> 
    <script> 
    $(function(){
      $("#includedContent").load("b.html"); 
    });
    </script> 
  </head> 

  <body> 
     <div id="includedContent"></div>
  </body> 
</html>

b.html:

<p>This is my include file</p>

This method is a simple and clean solution to my problem.

The jQuery .load() documentation is here.

Solution 2 - Javascript

Expanding lolo's answer, here is a little more automation if you have to include a lot of files. Use this JS code:

$(function () {
  var includes = $('[data-include]')
  $.each(includes, function () {
    var file = 'views/' + $(this).data('include') + '.html'
    $(this).load(file)
  })
})

And then to include something in the html:

<div data-include="header"></div>
<div data-include="footer"></div>

Which would include the file views/header.html and views/footer.html.

Solution 3 - Javascript

My solution is similar to the one of lolo above. However, I insert the HTML code via JavaScript's document.write instead of using jQuery:

a.html:

<html> 
  <body>
  <h1>Put your HTML content before insertion of b.js.</h1>
      ...

  <script src="b.js"></script>

      ...

  <p>And whatever content you want afterwards.</p>
  </body>
</html>

b.js:

document.write('\
\
    <h1>Add your HTML code here</h1>\
\
     <p>Notice however, that you have to escape LF's with a '\', just like\
        demonstrated in this code listing.\
    </p>\
\
');

The reason for me against using jQuery is that jQuery.js is ~90kb in size, and I want to keep the amount of data to load as small as possible.

In order to get the properly escaped JavaScript file without much work, you can use the following sed command:

sed 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/^.*$/&\\/g;s/'\''/\\'\''/g' b.html > escapedB.html

Or just use the following handy bash script published as a Gist on Github, that automates all necessary work, converting b.html to b.js: https://gist.github.com/Tafkadasoh/334881e18cbb7fc2a5c033bfa03f6ee6

Credits to Greg Minshall for the improved sed command that also escapes back slashes and single quotes, which my original sed command did not consider.

Alternatively for browsers that support template literals the following also works:

b.js:

document.write(`

    <h1>Add your HTML code here</h1>

     <p>Notice, you do not have to escape LF's with a '\',
        like demonstrated in the above code listing.
    </p>

`);

Checkout HTML5 imports via Html5rocks tutorial and at polymer-project

For example:

<head>
  <link rel="import" href="/path/to/imports/stuff.html">
</head>

Solution 5 - Javascript

Shameless plug of a library that I wrote the solve this.

https://github.com/LexmarkWeb/csi.js

<div data-include="/path/to/include.html"></div>

The above will take the contents of /path/to/include.html and replace the div with it.

Solution 6 - Javascript

No need for scripts. No need to do any fancy stuff server-side (tho that would probably be a better option)

<iframe src="/path/to/file.html" seamless></iframe>

Since old browsers don't support seamless, you should add some css to fix it:

iframe[seamless] {
	border: none;
}

Keep in mind that for browsers that don't support seamless, if you click a link in the iframe it will make the frame go to that url, not the whole window. A way to get around that is to have all links have target="_parent", tho the browser support is "good enough".

Solution 7 - Javascript

A simple server side include directive to include another file found in the same folder looks like this:

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

Also you can try:

<!--#include file="a.html" -->

Solution 8 - Javascript

A very old solution I did met my needs back then, but here's how to do it standards-compliant code:

<!--[if IE]>
<object classid="clsid:25336920-03F9-11CF-8FD0-00AA00686F13" data="some.html">
<p>backup content</p>
</object>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object type="text/html" data="some.html">
<p>backup content</p>
</object>
<!--> <![endif]-->

Solution 9 - Javascript

Following works if html content from some file needs to be included: For instance, the following line will include the contents of piece_to_include.html at the location where the OBJECT definition occurs.

...text before...
<OBJECT data="file_to_include.html">
Warning: file_to_include.html could not be included.
</OBJECT>
...text after...

Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/struct/includes.html#h-7.7.4

Solution 10 - Javascript

Here is my inline solution:

(() => {
    const includes = document.getElementsByTagName('include');
    [].forEach.call(includes, i => {
        let filePath = i.getAttribute('src');
        fetch(filePath).then(file => {
            file.text().then(content => {
                i.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', content);
                i.remove();
            });
        });
    });
})();

<p>FOO</p>

<include src="a.html">Loading...</include>

<p>BAR</p>

<include src="b.html">Loading...</include>

<p>TEE</p>

Solution 11 - Javascript

As an alternative, if you have access to the .htaccess file on your server, you can add a simple directive that will allow php to be interpreted on files ending in .html extension.

RemoveHandler .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

Now you can use a simple php script to include other files such as:

<?php include('b.html'); ?>

Solution 12 - Javascript

In w3.js include works like this:

<body>
<div w3-include-HTML="h1.html"></div>
<div w3-include-HTML="content.html"></div>
<script>w3.includeHTML();</script>
</body>

For proper description look into this: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_html_include.asp

Solution 13 - Javascript

This is what helped me. For adding a block of html code from b.html to a.html, this should go into the head tag of a.html:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>

Then in the body tag, a container is made with an unique id and a javascript block to load the b.html into the container, as follows:

<div id="b-placeholder">

</div>

<script>
$(function(){
  $("#b-placeholder").load("b.html");
});
</script>

Solution 14 - Javascript

I know this is a very old post, so some methods were not available back then. But here is my very simple take on it (based on Lolo's answer).

It relies on the HTML5 data-* attributes and therefore is very generic in that is uses jQuery's for-each function to get every .class matching "load-html" and uses its respective 'data-source' attribute to load the content:

<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="load-html" id="NavigationMenu" data-source="header.html"></div>
    <div class="load-html" id="MainBody" data-source="body.html"></div>
    <div class="load-html" id="Footer" data-source="footer.html"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
    $(".load-html").each(function () {
        $(this).load(this.dataset.source);
    });
});
</script>

Solution 15 - Javascript

Most of the solutions works but they have issue with jquery:

The issue is following code $(document).ready(function () { alert($("#includedContent").text()); } alerts nothing instead of alerting included content.

I write the below code, in my solution you can access to included content in $(document).ready function:

(The key is loading included content synchronously).

index.htm:

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="jquery.js"></script>
		
		<script>
			(function ($) {
				$.include = function (url) {
					$.ajax({
						url: url,
						async: false,
						success: function (result) {
							document.write(result);
						}
					});
				};
			}(jQuery));
		</script>
		
		<script>
			$(document).ready(function () {
				alert($("#test").text());
			});
		</script>
    </head>
	
    <body>
		<script>$.include("include.inc");</script>
    </body>
	
</html>

include.inc:

<div id="test">
	There is no issue between this solution and jquery.
</div>

Solution 16 - Javascript

You can use a polyfill of HTML Imports (https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/), or that simplified solution https://github.com/dsheiko/html-import

For example, on the page you import HTML block like that:

<link rel="html-import" href="./some-path/block.html" >

The block may have imports of its own:

<link rel="html-import" href="./some-other-path/other-block.html" >

The importer replaces the directive with the loaded HTML pretty much like SSI

These directives will be served automatically as soon as you load this small JavaScript:

<script async src="./src/html-import.js"></script>

It will process the imports when DOM is ready automatically. Besides, it exposes an API that you can use to run manually, to get logs and so on. Enjoy :)

Solution 18 - Javascript

Here's my approach using Fetch API and async function

<div class="js-component" data-name="header" data-ext="html"></div>
<div class="js-component" data-name="footer" data-ext="html"></div>

<script>
    const components = document.querySelectorAll('.js-component')

    const loadComponent = async c => {
        const { name, ext } = c.dataset
        const response = await fetch(`${name}.${ext}`)
        const html = await response.text()
        c.innerHTML = html
    }

    [...components].forEach(loadComponent)
</script>

Solution 19 - Javascript

Did you try a iFrame injection?

It injects the iFrame in the document and deletes itself (it is supposed to be then in the HTML DOM)

<iframe src="header.html" onload="this.before((this.contentDocument.body||this.contentDocument).children[0]);this.remove()"></iframe>

Solution 20 - Javascript

The Athari´s answer (the first!) was too much conclusive! Very Good!

But if you would like to pass the name of the page to be included as URL parameter, this post has a very nice solution to be used combined with:

http://www.jquerybyexample.net/2012/06/get-url-parameters-using-jquery.html

So it becomes something like this:

Your URL:

www.yoursite.com/a.html?p=b.html

The a.html code now becomes:

<html> 
  <head> 
    <script src="jquery.js"></script> 
    <script> 
    function GetURLParameter(sParam)
    {
      var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
      var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
      for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) 
      {
        var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
        if (sParameterName[0] == sParam) 
        {
            return sParameterName[1];
        }
      }
    }​
    $(function(){
      var pinc = GetURLParameter('p');
      $("#includedContent").load(pinc); 
    });
    </script> 
  </head> 

  <body> 
     <div id="includedContent"></div>
  </body> 
</html>

It worked very well for me! I hope have helped :)

Solution 21 - Javascript

html5rocks.com has a very good tutorial on this stuff, and this might be a little late, but I myself didn't know this existed. w3schools also has a way to do this using their new library called w3.js. The thing is, this requires the use of a web server and and HTTPRequest object. You can't actually load these locally and test them on your machine. What you can do though, is use polyfills provided on the html5rocks link at the top, or follow their tutorial. With a little JS magic, you can do something like this:

 var link = document.createElement('link');
 if('import' in link){
     //Run import code
     link.setAttribute('rel','import');
     link.setAttribute('href',importPath);
     document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);
     //Create a phantom element to append the import document text to
     link = document.querySelector('link[rel="import"]');
     var docText = document.createElement('div');
     docText.innerHTML = link.import;
     element.appendChild(docText.cloneNode(true));
 } else {
     //Imports aren't supported, so call polyfill
     importPolyfill(importPath);
 }

This will make the link (Can change to be the wanted link element if already set), set the import (unless you already have it), and then append it. It will then from there take that and parse the file in HTML, and then append it to the desired element under a div. This can all be changed to fit your needs from the appending element to the link you are using. I hope this helped, it may irrelevant now if newer, faster ways have come out without using libraries and frameworks such as jQuery or W3.js.

UPDATE: This will throw an error saying that the local import has been blocked by CORS policy. Might need access to the deep web to be able to use this because of the properties of the deep web. (Meaning no practical use)

Solution 22 - Javascript

Another approach using Fetch API with Promise

<html>
 <body>
  <div class="root" data-content="partial.html">
  <script>
      const root = document.querySelector('.root')
      const link = root.dataset.content;

      fetch(link)
        .then(function (response) {
          return response.text();
        })
        .then(function (html) {
          root.innerHTML = html;
        });
  </script>
 </body>
</html>

Solution 23 - Javascript

There is no direct HTML solution for the task for now. Even HTML Imports (which is permanently in draft) will not do the thing, because Import != Include and some JS magic will be required anyway.
I recently wrote a VanillaJS script that is just for inclusion HTML into HTML, without any complications.

Just place in your a.html

<link data-wi-src="b.html" />
<!-- ... and somewhere below is ref to the script ... -->
<script src="wm-html-include.js"> </script>  

It is open-source and may give an idea (I hope)

Solution 24 - Javascript

You can do that with JavaScript's library jQuery like this:

HTML:

<div class="banner" title="banner.html"></div>

JS:

$(".banner").each(function(){
    var inc=$(this);
    $.get(inc.attr("title"), function(data){
        inc.replaceWith(data);
    });
});

Please note that banner.html should be located under the same domain your other pages are in otherwise your webpages will refuse the banner.html file due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policies.

Also, please note that if you load your content with JavaScript, Google will not be able to index it so it's not exactly a good method for SEO reasons.

Solution 25 - Javascript

Web Components

I create following web-component similar to JSF

<ui-include src="b.xhtml"><ui-include>

You can use it as regular html tag inside your pages (after including snippet js code)

customElements.define('ui-include', class extends HTMLElement {
  async connectedCallback() {
    let src = this.getAttribute('src');
    this.innerHTML = await (await fetch(src)).text();;
  }
})

ui-include { margin: 20px } /* example CSS */

<ui-include src="https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://example.com/index.html"></ui-include>

<div>My page data... - in this snippet styles overlaps...</div>

<ui-include src="https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://www.w3.org/index.html"></ui-include>

Solution 26 - Javascript

Use includeHTML (smallest js-lib: ~150 lines)

Loading HTML parts via HTML tag (pure js)
Supported load: async/sync, any deep recursive includes

Supported protocols: http://, https://, file:///
Supported browsers: IE 9+, FF, Chrome (and may be other)

USAGE:

1.Insert includeHTML into head section (or before body close tag) in HTML file:

<script src="js/includeHTML.js"></script>

2.Anywhere use includeHTML as HTML tag:

<div data-src="header.html"></div>

Solution 27 - Javascript

I came to this topic looking for something similar, but a bit different from the problem posed by lolo. I wanted to construct an HTML page holding an alphabetical menu of links to other pages, and each of the other pages might or might not exist, and the order in which they were created might not be alphabetical (nor even numerical). Also, like Tafkadasoh, I did not want to bloat the web page with jQuery. After researching the problem and experimenting for several hours, here is what worked for me, with relevant remarks added:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/application/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
  <meta name="Author" content="me">
  <meta copyright="Copyright" content= "(C) 2013-present by me" />
  <title>Menu</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var F000, F001, F002, F003, F004, F005, F006, F007, F008, F009,
    F010, F011, F012, F013, F014, F015, F016, F017, F018, F019;
var dat = new Array();
var form, script, write, str, tmp, dtno, indx, unde;

/*
The "F000" and similar variables need to exist/be-declared.
Each one will be associated with a different menu item,
so decide on how many items maximum you are likely to need,
when constructing that listing of them.  Here, there are 20.
*/


function initialize()
{ window.name="Menu";
  form = document.getElementById('MENU');
  for(indx=0; indx<20; indx++)
  { str = "00" + indx;
    tmp = str.length - 3;
    str = str.substr(tmp);
    script = document.createElement('script');
    script.type = 'text/javascript';
    script.src = str + ".js";
    form.appendChild(script);
  }

/*
The for() loop constructs some <script> objects
and associates each one with a different simple file name,
starting with "000.js" and, here, going up to "019.js".
It won't matter which of those files exist or not.
However, for each menu item you want to display on this
page, you will need to ensure that its .js file does exist.

The short function below (inside HTML comment-block) is,
generically, what the content of each one of the .js files looks like:
<!--
function F000()
{ return ["Menu Item Name", "./URLofFile.htm", "Description string"];
}
-->

(Continuing the remarks in the main menu.htm file)
It happens that each call of the form.appendChild() function
will cause the specified .js script-file to be loaded at that time.
However, it takes a bit of time for the JavaScript in the file
to be fully integrated into the web page, so one thing that I tried,
but it didn't work, was to write an "onload" event handler.
The handler was apparently being called before the just-loaded
JavaScript had actually become accessible.

Note that the name of the function in the .js file is the same as one
of the pre-defined variables like "F000".  When I tried to access
that function without declaring the variable, attempting to use an
"onload" event handler, the JavaScript debugger claimed that the item
was "not available".  This is not something that can be tested-for!
However, "undefined" IS something that CAN be tested-for.  Simply
declaring them to exist automatically makes all of them "undefined".
When the system finishes integrating a just-loaded .js script file,
the appropriate variable, like "F000", will become something other
than "undefined".  Thus it doesn't matter which .js files exist or
not, because we can simply test all the "F000"-type variables, and
ignore the ones that are "undefined".  More on that later.

The line below specifies a delay of 2 seconds, before any attempt
is made to access the scripts that were loaded.  That DOES give the
system enough time to fully integrate them into the web page.
(If you have a really long list of menu items, or expect the page
to be loaded by an old/slow computer, a longer delay may be needed.)
*/

  window.setTimeout("BuildMenu();", 2000);
  return;
}


//So here is the function that gets called after the 2-second delay  
function BuildMenu()
{ dtno = 0;    //index-counter for the "dat" array
  for(indx=0; indx<20; indx++)
  { str = "00" + indx;
    tmp = str.length - 3;
    str = "F" + str.substr(tmp);
    tmp = eval(str);
    if(tmp != unde) // "unde" is deliberately undefined, for this test
      dat[dtno++] = eval(str + "()");
  }

/*
The loop above simply tests each one of the "F000"-type variables, to
see if it is "undefined" or not.  Any actually-defined variable holds
a short function (from the ".js" script-file as previously indicated).
We call the function to get some data for one menu item, and put that
data into an array named "dat".

Below, the array is sorted alphabetically (the default), and the
"dtno" variable lets us know exactly how many menu items we will
be working with.  The loop that follows creates some "<span>" tags,
and the the "innerHTML" property of each one is set to become an
"anchor" or "<a>" tag, for a link to some other web page.  A description
and a "<br />" tag gets included for each link.  Finally, each new
<span> object is appended to the menu-page's "form" object, and thereby
ends up being inserted into the middle of the overall text on the page.
(For finer control of where you want to put text in a page, consider
placing something like this in the web page at an appropriate place,
as preparation:
<div id="InsertHere"></div>
You could then use document.getElementById("InsertHere") to get it into
a variable, for appending of <span> elements, the way a variable named
"form" was used in this example menu page.

Note: You don't have to specify the link in the same way I did
(the type of link specified here only works if JavaScript is enabled).
You are free to use the more-standard "<a>" tag with the "href"
property defined, if you wish.  But whichever way you go,
you need to make sure that any pages being linked actually exist!
*/

  dat.sort();
  for(indx=0; indx<dtno; indx++)
  { write = document.createElement('span');
    write.innerHTML = "<a onclick=\"window.open('" + dat[indx][1] +
                      "', 'Menu');\" style=\"color:#0000ff;" +

                      dat[indx][0] + "</a> " + dat[indx][2] + "<br />";
    form.appendChild(write);

Using ES6 backticks ``: template literals!

let nick = "Castor", name = "Moon", nuts = 1

more.innerHTML = `

<h1>Hello ${nick} ${name}!</h1>

You collected ${nuts} nuts so far!

<hr>

Double it and get ${nuts + nuts} nuts!!

` 

<div id="more"></div>

This way we can include html without encoding quotes, include variables from the DOM, and so on.

It is a powerful templating engine, we can use separate js files and use events to load the content in place, or even separate everything in chunks and call on demand:

let inject = document.createElement('script');
inject.src= '//....com/template/panel45.js';
more.appendChild(inject);

To get Solution working you need to include the file csi.min.js, which you can locate here.

As per the example shown on GitHub, to use this library you must include the file csi.js in your page header, then you need to add the data-include attribute with its value set to the file you want to include, on the container element.

Using just HTML it is not possible to include HTML file in another HTML file. But here is a very easy method to do this. Using this JS library you can easy do that. Just use this code:

<script> include('path/to/file.html', document.currentScript) </script>

w3.js is pretty cool.

https://www.w3schools.com/lib/w3.js

and we are focus

w3-include-html

but consider the below case

- 🧾 popup.html
- 🧾 popup.js
- 🧾 include.js
- 📂 partials 
   - 📂 head
         - 🧾 bootstrap-css.html
         - 🧾 fontawesome-css.html
         - 🧾 all-css.html
   - 🧾 hello-world.html
<!-- popup.html -->
<head>
<script defer type="module" src="popup.js"></script>
<meta data-include-html="partials/head/all-css.html">
</head>

<body>
<div data-include-html="partials/hello-world.html"></div>
</body>
<!-- bootstrap-css.html -->
<link href="https://.../[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<!-- fontawesome-css.html -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://.../font-awesome/5.15.4/css/all.min.css" />
<!-- all-css.html -->
<meta data-include-html="bootstrap-css.html">
<meta data-include-html="fontawesome-css.html">

<!-- 
If you want to use w3.js.include, you should change as below

<meta w3-include-html="partials/head/bootstrap-css.html">
<meta w3-include-html="partials/head/fontawesome-css.html">

Of course, you can add the above in the ``popup.html`` directly.

If you don't want to, then consider using my scripts.

PHP is a server level scripting language. It can do many things, but one popular use is to include HTML documents inside your pages, much the same as SSI. Like SSI, this is a server level technology. If you are not sure if you have PHP functionality on your website contact your hosting provider.

Here is a simple PHP script you can use to include a snippet of HTML on any PHP-enabled web page:

Save the HTML for the common elements of your site to separate files. For example, your navigation section might be saved as navigation.html or navigation.php. Use the following PHP code to include that HTML in each page.

<?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "navigation.php"); ?>

Use that same code on every page that you want to include the file. Make sure to change the higlighted file name to the name and path to your include file.

If you use some framework like django/bootle, they often ship some template engine. Let's say you use bottle, and the default template engine is SimpleTemplate Engine. And below is the pure html file

$ cat footer.tpl
<hr> <footer>   <p>&copy; stackoverflow, inc 2015</p> </footer>

You can include the footer.tpl in you main file, like:

$ cat dashboard.tpl
%include footer

Besides that, you can also pass parameter to your dashborard.tpl.

Based on the answer of https://stackoverflow.com/a/31837264/4360308 I've implemented this functionality with Nodejs (+ express + cheerio) as follows:

HTML (index.html)

<div class="include" data-include="componentX" data-method="append"></div>
<div class="include" data-include="componentX" data-method="replace"></div>

JS

function includeComponents($) {
    $('.include').each(function () {
        var file = 'view/html/component/' + $(this).data('include') + '.html';
        var dataComp = fs.readFileSync(file);
        var htmlComp = dataComp.toString();
        if ($(this).data('method') == "replace") {
            $(this).replaceWith(htmlComp);
        } else if ($(this).data('method') == "append") {
            $(this).append(htmlComp);
        }
    })
}

function foo(){
    fs.readFile('./view/html/index.html', function (err, data) {
        if (err) throw err;
        var html = data.toString();
        var $ = cheerio.load(html);
        includeComponents($);
        ...
    }
}

append -> includes the content into the div

replace -> replaces the div

you could easily add more behaviours following the same design

I strongly suggest AngularJS's ng-include whether your project is AngularJS or not.

<script src=".../angular.min.js"></script>

<body ng-app="ngApp" ng-controller="ngCtrl">

    <div ng-include="'another.html'"></div> 

    <script>
        var app = angular.module('ngApp', []);
        app.controller('ngCtrl', function() {});
    </script>

</body>

You can find CDN (or download Zip) from AngularJS and more information from W3Schools.

There are several types of answers here, but I never found the oldest tool in the use here:

"And all the other answers didn't work for me."

<html>
<head>   
    <title>pagetitle</title>
</head>

<frameset rows="*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="no" frameborder="0">
    <frame name="includeName" src="yourfileinclude.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">   
</frameset>

</html>

Solution 39 - Javascript

Well, if all you're wanting to do is put text from a separate file into your page (tags in the text should work, too), you can do this (your text styles on the main page—test.html—should still work):

test.html

<html>
<body>
<p>Start</p>

<p>Beginning</p>

<div>
<script language="JavaScript" src="sample.js"></script>
</div>

<p>End</p>

</body>
</html>

sample.js

var data="Here is the imported text!";
document.write(data);

You can always recreate the HTML tags you want yourself, after all. There's need for server-side scripting just to grab text from another file, unless you want to do something more.

Anyway, what I'm starting to use this for is to make it so if I update a description common among lots of HTML files, I only need to update one file to do it (the .js file) instead of every single HTML file that contains the text.

So, in summary, instead of importing an .html file, a simpler solution is to import a .js file with the content of the .html file in a variable (and write the contents to the screen where you call the script).

Thanks for the question.
