Iframe - nasty, unreliable, but about the only way:
http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?Include_one_file_in_another
(Note that including third party content in this was could open you up to legal action if you don't have permission)

On easy way to do it is to use ssi (server side includes) do you have this enabled on your server? If you do you could also use perl. I agree you could use an iframe but that is sloppy, although you could use javascript, is this page constantly being updated i'm presuming?
JavaScript?! I'd love (mainly becuase I don't believe it possible) to see some JavaScript capable of reading an HTML file from a remote server, then dumping the contents of the <body> element in the page the script is running on.
muskad202 - what exactly do you mean by "include"?
In programming languages/environments such as ASP, the term "INCLUDE" has a very specific meaning, that the code from one file (the INCLUDE file) is literally taken into another file and becomes part of that file just the same as if it was typed in with all the other code.
Perhaps what you want is something else. Perhaps you want to be able to display HTML from both files in different areas of the window at the same time?
IF so, you can use a simple FRAMESET. The source of HTML for each frame can be on a different server STC.

dorward,
Not possible with conventional JavaScripting, but it can be done if you declare xmlhttp as an activeXobject. Very ugly, and opens up serious guestions of legality if you don't have permission. The following stolen from knightEknight:
<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>
function include(url) // must be a fully qualified URL, I don't know why
{
if ( document.all )
{
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.X
xml.Open( "GET", url, false );
xml.Send()
document.writeln(xml.respo
}
else
{
if ((location.host == '' && url.indexOf(location.proto
{
netscape.security.Privileg
}
var dest = new java.net.URL(url);
var dis = new java.io.DataInputStream(de
var res = "";
while ((line = dis.readLine()) != null)
{
res += line + java.lang.System.getProper
}
dis.close();
document.writeln(res);
}
}
</script>

My preference is an iframe, in spite of not being a big fan of frames of any kind.

hi !!
firstly, there is no legal issue here...becoz both the pages are mine..
my server does support asp, and i had already tried it the xml way, but it kept on giving me an error on the line
xml.send
it just says "error '800c0005'"
i have checked with the provider, and they have said that xml 4.0 is supported...so, what's the problem ?? i just don't get it..so i was thinking it might be easier to do it in html or javascript, if possible..
thanks..

Just kidding. If you are using the latest Frontpage(which I despise) there is already "Include Page" insert in the menu.

hi !!
even though i didn't get a proper working answer (to all those who mentioned using IFrames and Framesets....sorry..i already knew about that, but i don't think people would appreciate a site within a site...:)
CobolDinosaurs's comment about using XML came closest to what i was looking for....unfortunately, it didn't work --->
