    importing html objects

    hi, i am working on an xhtml page that is becoming very table
    intensive for just normal mark-up. I have pages and pages of tables
    and rows and it has gotten quite massive. I can break it into
    multiple tables to be easier to use, but even at that, it just adds an
    extra element set and another tab key to hit.

    I was wondering if there were anyway (without using frames, ugh) to
    write the tables in seperate files (easier to maintain just a file
    dealing with the nav bar then the code in the main page) and then
    import it?

    I have been looking, and from my own experience, seems not possible,
    but figured I would ask. thanks for the help

      Google for SSI

          Yes. You can use SSI, PHP, ASP, or one of several dozen other acronyms;
          see <http://www.allmyfaqs.c om/faq.pl?Include_ one_file_in_ano ther>.

          But you shouldn't be using tables for layout in the first place. They're
          difficult to maintain (as you've noticed), less accessible than some
          alternatives, less flexible, and structurally incorrect. An alternative
          is CSS, which has far less shortcomings than layout tables; see
          <http://www.allmyfaqs.c om/faq.pl?Tableles s_layouts>.
