Adding Includes in dreamweaver

[Brentg]

i want to include a header and footer to all of the pages of my site, but i don't know how to do includes in dreamweaver.

Hi,
This may vary slightly depending on what version of Dreamweaver you are using but, click Insert on the top menu, click on Script Objects and select Server Side Include.

But using SSI means that you have to use shtml as your extensions, right?
Another way to go would be using Iframes.

Using SSI would require using the .shtml extension and does slow your server if you get heavy traffic. You'll also need to code it differently on Windows or Unix. On MX go insert > script objects > server side includes

php is easier! If you get DW resource kit 2 or 3 (can't recall which but the macromedia site will tell you) you get the extension for it, otherwise the code is simple anyway:

<? php include ("NAMEOFYOURPHPPAGE.PHP"); ?>

That's quite easy to work with even if you hand code it.
