+ It's possible to get the footer on the static index page using
+ Server Side Includes (SSI). The trick to doing this is making
+ sure that your web server is set up to allow SSI and specifically,
+ the #exec directive. You should also rename index.html
+ to index.shtml.
+
+
+ After you've done all that, you can add the following line to
+ index.shtml:
+
+
+]]>
+
+
+
+
+ This line will be replaced with the actual HTML for the footer
+ when the page is requested, so you should put this line where you
+ want the footer to appear.
+
+
+
+ Because this method depends on being able to use a #exec directive,
+ and most ISP's will not allow that, there is an alternative method.
+ You could have a small script (such as api.cgi)
+ that basically looks like:
+
+
+
+ and then put this line in index.shtml.
+
+
+]]>
+
+
+
+
+ This still requires being able to use Server Side Includes, if
+ this simply will not work for you, see bug 80183
+ for a third option.
