Thanks for the wonderfully comprehensive response. I'll try it.

Thanks!

To call that function, it should work by just inserting the function call in the body where you want it to appear:

There is also an easier way to do this, find out if your host allows SSI. You can also test for it yourself to see if one file will include another, write a short bit of html:

-------
<A HREF="url">Click</A>
-------

Save it with any name you like, I'll call it linkfile.html .

Make another HTML page (this may need to be saved with the extension .shtml instead of .html). This one will try to insert the link code we created:

-------
<HTML>
<BODY>
Does the link show up below? Yes= SSI enabled. No=SSI disabled.

<P>
So, did it work?
-------

Open this file (on the server) and see if it includes the file. If not, you might try asking your host if you need to make any other adjustments (some support different ways of calling the file or naming the file extensions).
