Can I reference a html file inside html?

Question

I want to make a website and have a header/footer, I was wondering if I could write it once in one file and call it in another

Answer 1

In additional to Toni Isotalo's answer:

<?php include"file.html"?>
or
<?php fopen"file.html?>

file.html
Your code to call, can either be php, js, txt, xml, json etc..etc.. extensions

Personally I use always include:

Edit: Make your main file .php, since .html will not work with php code unless it is a .php extension. html will work in .php extensions

Answer 2

You can do it with HTML <frame> or <iframe> tags. You can do it with a host scripting language like PHP or ASP. You can do it with a Java Applet within HTML. Or you can do it with JavaScript within HTML.

Answer 3

Not with html but I always do that with php or even better with laravel.
