 SSI - Server Side Includes 

Definition

Method allowing to include the same fragment of code (X)HTML within several Web pages.

Description

The Server Side Includes are simple beacons () to be added to the Web pages to order the importation of the file located in question. Code HTML contained by this file is included in the code of the page containing the call, at the place even of this call. This artifice has for principal interest to facilitate the maintenance of a Web site. The repetitive fractions of the code (menus, heading, bars of navigation...) are stored in small files HTML, in only one place, and are added to the request with the code of all the pages using these common elements. Thus, a menu present on each page will be replaced by a call with a single file containing the description of this menu. From where the possibility of reactualizing it on all the pages, instantaneously, by modifying only this only file. The inclusion of the file called is made side waiter ("Server Side"); the operated transformation is consequently invisible with the eyes of the Net surfer as to those of the navigator Web.
