<p><b>New page</b></p><div>On many web sites, there are many elements which are ''common'' between pages:<br />
* Navigation<br />
* Company or Product logo<br />
* Copyright information<br />
<br />
On web sites which support [[Server-side Includes]], these elements can be incorporated into one or two files in order to simplify web site maintenance. They are called the '''Header''' and '''Footer''' of the web page.<br />
<br />
== An example ==<br />
The following outlines an example using [[Server-side Includes]]:<br />
<br />
=== File: index.html ===<br />
This is the web site's home page:<br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
<!--#include virtual="/header.html" --><br />
<h1>Welcome to our site</h1><br />
<p>Example company was founded in 2009 and produces the finest quality widgets available on the market today ...</p> <!--#include virtual="/footer.html" --><br />
<!--#include virtual="/footer.html" --><br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== File: header.html ===<br />
<nowiki><html><br />
<head><br />
<title>My web site</title><br />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="all" /><br />
</head><br />
<body><br />
<img src="logo.gif" alt="Example Company" /><br />
<ul class="menus"><br />
<li><a href="/">Home</li><br />
<li><a href="/products/">Products</li><br />
<li><a href="/contact/">Contact</li><br />
<li><a href="/about/">About</li><br />
</ul><br />
<div class="content"></nowiki><br />
=== File: footer.html ===<br />
<nowiki><br />
</div><br />
<div id="footer"><br />
Copyright &copy; 2009 Example Company, Inc.<br />
</div><br />
</body><br />
</html></nowiki><br />
<br />
== Relation to analytics software ==<br />
Obviously, having a header and footer for your web site make it much, much easier to change information which may be contained on the header and footer. To add a new menu item, just update the '''header.html''' file and all pages which use that [[Server-side Include|'''include''']] will be updated as well.<br />
<br />
When installing [[Install_the_tracking_snippet|conversion tracking]] software, it's easiest to update the '''footer.html''' file with the appropriate [[HTML]] snippet.</div>Admin
