Includes in html files

Hi

I have a html page (eg. aboutUs.html)

Now I want to have the header and footer sections of this page as include
files.

I have seen this before.

But can a .html page have include files or does it have to be a .asp, .php,
..cfm, .jsp etc?

I cant get it to work.

The path to the .inc file is correct and it displays in the Dreamweaver
interface but not when I view the aboutUs.html page in IE.

Heres my code (which is greyed out in DW for some reason)

<!-- Footer -->
<!--#include file="inc/footer.inc" -->
<!-- Footer End -->


Thanks
Enzo

If you've set the page up to call for the includes properly, change the
extension to .shtml and, providing your site host is set up for it, it
should work.

Here's one of a zillion tutorials you can find online to help out:

In addition to Mad Dog's post:
Try <!--#include virtual="inc/footer.inc" -->

Also: Do you mean when viewing with IE from the remote site or locally?
If locally, do you mean when using DW's preview, or from a local server?
