I have 2 HTML files, suppose a.html and b.html. In a.html I want to include b.html.
In JSF I can do it like that:
<ui:include src="b.xhtml" />
It means that inside a.xhtml file, I can include b.xhtml.
How can we do it in *.html file?
In my opinion the best solution uses jQuery:
a.html:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$("#includedContent").load("b.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="includedContent"></div>
</body>
</html>
b.html:
<p>This is my include file</p>
This method is a simple and clean solution to my problem.
The jQuery .load() documentation is here.
Expanding lolo's answer, here is a little more automation if you have to include a lot of files. Use this JS code:
$(function () {
var includes = $('[data-include]')
$.each(includes, function () {
var file = 'views/' + $(this).data('include') + '.html'
$(this).load(file)
})
})
And then to include something in the html:
<div data-include="header"></div>
<div data-include="footer"></div>
Which would include the file views/header.html and views/footer.html.
My solution is similar to the one of lolo above. However, I insert the HTML code via JavaScript's document.write instead of using jQuery:
a.html:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Put your HTML content before insertion of b.js.</h1>
...
<script src="b.js"></script>
...
<p>And whatever content you want afterwards.</p>
</body>
</html>
b.js:
document.write('\
\
<h1>Add your HTML code here</h1>\
\
<p>Notice however, that you have to escape LF's with a '\', just like\
demonstrated in this code listing.\
</p>\
\
');
The reason for me against using jQuery is that jQuery.js is ~90kb in size, and I want to keep the amount of data to load as small as possible.
In order to get the properly escaped JavaScript file without much work, you can use the following sed command:
sed 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/^.*$/&\\/g;s/'\''/\\'\''/g' b.html > escapedB.html
Or just use the following handy bash script published as a Gist on Github, that automates all necessary work, converting b.html to b.js:
https://gist.github.com/Tafkadasoh/334881e18cbb7fc2a5c033bfa03f6ee6
Credits to Greg Minshall for the improved sed command that also escapes back slashes and single quotes, which my original sed command did not consider.
Alternatively for browsers that support template literals the following also works:
b.js:
document.write(`
<h1>Add your HTML code here</h1>
<p>Notice, you do not have to escape LF's with a '\',
like demonstrated in the above code listing.
</p>
`);
Checkout HTML5 imports via Html5rocks tutorial
and at polymer-project
For example:
<head>
<link rel="import" href="/path/to/imports/stuff.html">
</head>
Shameless plug of a library that I wrote the solve this.
https://github.com/LexmarkWeb/csi.js
<div data-include="/path/to/include.html"></div>
The above will take the contents of /path/to/include.html and replace the div with it.
No need for scripts. No need to do any fancy stuff server-side (tho that would probably be a better option)
<iframe src="/path/to/file.html" seamless></iframe>
Since old browsers don't support seamless, you should add some css to fix it:
iframe[seamless] {
border: none;
}
Keep in mind that for browsers that don't support seamless, if you click a link in the iframe it will make the frame go to that url, not the whole window. A way to get around that is to have all links have target="_parent", tho the browser support is "good enough".
A simple server side include directive to include another file found in the same folder looks like this:
<!--#include virtual="a.html" -->
Also you can try:
<!--#include file="a.html" -->
A very old solution I did met my needs back then, but here's how to do it standards-compliant code:
<!--[if IE]>
<object classid="clsid:25336920-03F9-11CF-8FD0-00AA00686F13" data="some.html">
<p>backup content</p>
</object>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object type="text/html" data="some.html">
<p>backup content</p>
</object>
<!--> <![endif]-->
Following works if html content from some file needs to be included:
For instance, the following line will include the contents of piece_to_include.html at the location where the OBJECT definition occurs.
...text before...
<OBJECT data="file_to_include.html">
Warning: file_to_include.html could not be included.
</OBJECT>
...text after...
Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/struct/includes.html#h-7.7.4
Here is my inline solution:
(() => {
const includes = document.getElementsByTagName('include');
[].forEach.call(includes, i => {
let filePath = i.getAttribute('src');
fetch(filePath).then(file => {
file.text().then(content => {
i.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', content);
i.remove();
});
});
});
})();
<p>FOO</p>
<include src="a.html">Loading...</include>
<p>BAR</p>
<include src="b.html">Loading...</include>
<p>TEE</p>
In w3.js include works like this:
<body>
<div w3-include-HTML="h1.html"></div>
<div w3-include-HTML="content.html"></div>
<script>w3.includeHTML();</script>
</body>
For proper description look into this: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_html_include.asp
As an alternative, if you have access to the .htaccess file on your server, you can add a simple directive that will allow php to be interpreted on files ending in .html extension.
RemoveHandler .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
Now you can use a simple php script to include other files such as:
<?php include('b.html'); ?>
This is what helped me. For adding a block of html code from b.html to a.html, this should go into the head tag of a.html:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
Then in the body tag, a container is made with an unique id and a javascript block to load the b.html into the container, as follows:
<div id="b-placeholder">
</div>
<script>
$(function(){
$("#b-placeholder").load("b.html");
});
</script>
I know this is a very old post, so some methods were not available back then.
But here is my very simple take on it (based on Lolo's answer).
It relies on the HTML5 data-* attributes and therefore is very generic in that is uses jQuery's for-each function to get every .class matching "load-html" and uses its respective 'data-source' attribute to load the content:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="load-html" id="NavigationMenu" data-source="header.html"></div>
<div class="load-html" id="MainBody" data-source="body.html"></div>
<div class="load-html" id="Footer" data-source="footer.html"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$(".load-html").each(function () {
$(this).load(this.dataset.source);
});
});
</script>
Most of the solutions works but they have issue with jquery:
The issue is following code $(document).ready(function () { alert($("#includedContent").text()); } alerts nothing instead of alerting included content.
I write the below code, in my solution you can access to included content in $(document).ready function:
(The key is loading included content synchronously).
index.htm:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
(function ($) {
$.include = function (url) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
async: false,
success: function (result) {
document.write(result);
}
});
};
}(jQuery));
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
alert($("#test").text());
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script>$.include("include.inc");</script>
</body>
</html>
include.inc:
<div id="test">
There is no issue between this solution and jquery.

You can use a polyfill of HTML Imports (https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/), or that simplified solution
https://github.com/dsheiko/html-import
For example, on the page you import HTML block like that:
<link rel="html-import" href="./some-path/block.html" >
The block may have imports of its own:
<link rel="html-import" href="./some-other-path/other-block.html" >
The importer replaces the directive with the loaded HTML pretty much like SSI
These directives will be served automatically as soon as you load this small JavaScript:
<script async src="./src/html-import.js"></script>
It will process the imports when DOM is ready automatically. Besides, it exposes an API that you can use to run manually, to get logs and so on. Enjoy :)
Here's my approach using Fetch API and async function
<div class="js-component" data-name="header" data-ext="html"></div>
<div class="js-component" data-name="footer" data-ext="html"></div>
<script>
const components = document.querySelectorAll('.js-component')
const loadComponent = async c => {
const { name, ext } = c.dataset
const response = await fetch(`${name}.${ext}`)
const html = await response.text()
c.innerHTML = html
}
[...components].forEach(loadComponent)
</script>
To insert contents of the named file:
<!--#include virtual="filename.htm"-->
Another approach using Fetch API with Promise
<html>
<body>
<div class="root" data-content="partial.html">
<script>
const root = document.querySelector('.root')
const link = root.dataset.content;
fetch(link)
.then(function (response) {
return response.text();
})
.then(function (html) {
root.innerHTML = html;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Did you try a iFrame injection?
It injects the iFrame in the document and deletes itself (it is supposed to be then in the HTML DOM)
<iframe src="header.html" onload="this.before((this.contentDocument.body||this.contentDocument).children[0]);this.remove()"></iframe>
Regards
The Athari´s answer (the first!) was too much conclusive! Very Good!
But if you would like to pass the name of the page to be included as URL parameter, this post has a very nice solution to be used combined with:
http://www.jquerybyexample.net/2012/06/get-url-parameters-using-jquery.html
So it becomes something like this:
Your URL:
www.yoursite.com/a.html?p=b.html
The a.html code now becomes:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
function GetURLParameter(sParam)
{
var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++)
{
var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
if (sParameterName[0] == sParam)
{
return sParameterName[1];
}
}
}
$(function(){
var pinc = GetURLParameter('p');
$("#includedContent").load(pinc);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="includedContent"></div>
</body>
</html>
It worked very well for me!
I hope have helped :)
html5rocks.com has a very good tutorial on this stuff, and this might be a little late, but I myself didn't know this existed. w3schools also has a way to do this using their new library called w3.js. The thing is, this requires the use of a web server and and HTTPRequest object. You can't actually load these locally and test them on your machine. What you can do though, is use polyfills provided on the html5rocks link at the top, or follow their tutorial. With a little JS magic, you can do something like this:
var link = document.createElement('link');
if('import' in link){
//Run import code
link.setAttribute('rel','import');
link.setAttribute('href',importPath);
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);
//Create a phantom element to append the import document text to
link = document.querySelector('link[rel="import"]');
var docText = document.createElement('div');
docText.innerHTML = link.import;
element.appendChild(docText.cloneNode(true));
} else {
//Imports aren't supported, so call polyfill
importPolyfill(importPath);
}
This will make the link (Can change to be the wanted link element if already set), set the import (unless you already have it), and then append it. It will then from there take that and parse the file in HTML, and then append it to the desired element under a div. This can all be changed to fit your needs from the appending element to the link you are using. I hope this helped, it may irrelevant now if newer, faster ways have come out without using libraries and frameworks such as jQuery or W3.js.
UPDATE: This will throw an error saying that the local import has been blocked by CORS policy. Might need access to the deep web to be able to use this because of the properties of the deep web. (Meaning no practical use)
Use includeHTML (smallest js-lib: ~150 lines)
Loading HTML parts via HTML tag (pure js)
Supported load: async/sync, any deep recursive includes
Supported protocols: http://, https://, file:///
Supported browsers: IE 9+, FF, Chrome (and may be other)
USAGE:
1.Insert includeHTML into head section (or before body close tag) in HTML file:
<script src="js/includeHTML.js"></script>
2.Anywhere use includeHTML as HTML tag:
<div data-src="header.html"></div>
There is no direct HTML solution for the task for now. Even HTML Imports (which is permanently in draft) will not do the thing, because Import != Include and some JS magic will be required anyway.
I recently wrote a VanillaJS script that is just for inclusion HTML into HTML, without any complications.
Just place in your a.html
<link data-wi-src="b.html" />
<!-- ... and somewhere below is ref to the script ... -->
<script src="wm-html-include.js"> </script>
It is open-source and may give an idea (I hope)
You can do that with JavaScript's library jQuery like this:
HTML:
<div class="banner" title="banner.html"></div>
JS:
$(".banner").each(function(){
var inc=$(this);
$.get(inc.attr("title"), function(data){
inc.replaceWith(data);
});
});
Please note that banner.html should be located under the same domain your other pages are in otherwise your webpages will refuse the banner.html file due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policies.
Also, please note that if you load your content with JavaScript, Google will not be able to index it so it's not exactly a good method for SEO reasons.
Web Components
I create following web-component similar to JSF
<ui-include src="b.xhtml"><ui-include>
You can use it as regular html tag inside your pages (after including snippet js code)
customElements.define('ui-include', class extends HTMLElement {
async connectedCallback() {
let src = this.getAttribute('src');
this.innerHTML = await (await fetch(src)).text();;
}
})
ui-include { margin: 20px } /* example CSS */
<ui-include src="https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://example.com/index.html"></ui-include>
<div>My page data... - in this snippet styles overlaps...</div>
<ui-include src="https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://www.w3.org/index.html"></ui-include>
None of these solutions suit my needs. I was looking for something more PHP-like. This solution is quite easy and efficient, in my opinion.
include.js ->
void function(script) {
const { searchParams } = new URL(script.src);
fetch(searchParams.get('src')).then(r => r.text()).then(content => {
script.outerHTML = content;
});
}(document.currentScript);
index.html ->
<script src="/include.js?src=/header.html">
<main>
Hello World!
</main>
<script src="/include.js?src=/footer.html">
Simple tweaks can be made to create include_once, require, and require_once, which may all be useful depending on what you're doing. Here's a brief example of what that might look like.
include_once ->
var includedCache = includedCache || new Set();
void function(script) {
const { searchParams } = new URL(script.src);
const filePath = searchParams.get('src');
if (!includedCache.has(filePath)) {
fetch(filePath).then(r => r.text()).then(content => {
includedCache.add(filePath);
script.outerHTML = content;
});
}
}(document.currentScript);
Hope it helps!
Here is a great article, You can implement common library and just use below code to import any HTML files in one line.
<head>
<link rel="import" href="warnings.html">
</head>
You can also try Google Polymer
To get Solution working you need to include the file csi.min.js, which you can locate here.
As per the example shown on GitHub, to use this library you must include the file csi.js in your page header, then you need to add the data-include attribute with its value set to the file you want to include, on the container element.
Hide Copy Code
<html>
<head>
<script src="csi.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-include="Test.html"></div>
</body>
</html>

I have a very simple form using angularjs that validates a number field test.html ...
http://plnkr.co/edit/mfxdTxGUXLZswzl1nyF2?p=preview
<div ng-app="myApp">
<script>
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('myController', ['$scope', function($scope) { }]);
</script>
<form name="myForm" ng-controller="myController">
<input name="numberField" ng-model="myModel" type="number" value="" />
<p ng-show="myForm.numberField.$error.number">Not valid number!</p>
</form>
</div>
</html>
I want to put that form into a different html page...
<html>
<div id="test">
<!--I want my angular js number element to go here-->
</div>
</html>
Normally when I do something like this I use javascript and make a request to the page and use innerhtml to place the form where i want it, something like this...
<script>
var xRequest1;
xRequest1=new XMLHttpRequest();
xRequest1.onreadystatechange=function ()
{
if((xRequest1.readyState==4) && (xRequest1.status==200))
{
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML=xRequest1.responseText;
}
}
xRequest1.open("post","test.html",true);
xRequest1.send();
</script>
However this is not working, any idea how I can do this? or is this even possible? Ive never worked with angularjs before. Thanks in advance!
If you are building angular app from scratch then, you should
consider, putting ng-app in the main index and using ng-include as
#Ronnie pointed out.
But, If you are forced to integrate angular, in one place on legacy
code, you can manually bootstrap angular app, after, filling the
div#test in the ajax callback using angular.boostrap :
Here is a working demo using your exemple.
var xRequest1;
xRequest1=new XMLHttpRequest();
xRequest1.onreadystatechange=function ()
{
if((xRequest1.readyState==4) && (xRequest1.status==200))
{
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML=xRequest1.responseText;
// bootstrap your app here ...
angular.bootstrap(document.getElementById('test'), ['myApp']);
}
}
xRequest1.open("get","test.html",true);
xRequest1.send();
I have looked through the older posts regarding this problem but did not find the solution to my problem.
I have 2 REST services on my computer, 1 for login and 2nd for sending a list items.
I am able to connect and login using the login webservice .
My second webservice is called after the login and it provides JSON data in following form..
[{"oid":101,"summary":"this is my first order"},{"oid":102,"summary":"this is second order"}]
I want to parse this JSON string and create a list of "oid" and then if I click on 1st item i should see the "summary" on a new page. When i hit the back button i want to call the service again so the list refreshes.
here is the code i tried.
<script>
$.getJSON('http://192.168.2.36:8080/phoneservlet/getOrders', function(data){
var output = '';
$.each(data, function(index, value){
//add each value to the output buffer (we also have access to the other properties of this object: id, start, and end)
output += '<li>'+ value.oid +'</li>';
});
//now append the buffered output to the listview and either refresh the listview or create it (meaning have jQuery Mobile style the list)
$('#your-orders').append(output).listview('refresh');//or if the listview has yet to be initialized, use `.trigger('create');` instead of `.listview('refresh');`
});
</script>
And this is the for list
<div data-role="page" id="currentorders">
<div data-role="content" id="data">
<ul data-role="listview" id="your-orders" data-divider-theme="b" data-inset="true">List of Orders</ul>
</div>
The problem is that my list does not get populated. I see an empty List with just the title of my list which is "List of Orders"
I am new to jquery so i still have not figured out how i can show the summary on a new page..
I think that you might missed the following access rule in config.xml file:
<access origin="*" />
1) For first issue you need to check get json url
2) Second issue show the summary on a new page

Sorry for my English, I am a new to jquery mobile and only have basic knowledge about javascript languages in general; I was playing around with a single page website mobile ( I usually use Dreamweaver CS6) and I reached a good result with photoswipe and everything was good since I had just few images. I have added a lot of them so now I would get the images' link dynamically.
In short, I want to start from a folder on my ftp and read all images file within it and create the <li> items for each one. Can I make this job with jquery mobile or should I use a language like php or .Net
I have read some examples around here and on google but they didn't help me a lot, like this one, I am sure it could be an answer for me in it but I don't know how to start
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/cordova_file_file.md.html#DirectoryReader
Here some code I'm using:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<!-- Librerie PhotoSwipe -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../PhotoSwipe/photoswipe.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../PhotoSwipe/styles.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../PhotoSwipe/klass.min.js"></script>

<!-- End PhotoSwipe -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){ var myPhotoSwipe = $("#Gallery a").photoSwipe({ enableMouseWheel: false , enableKeyboard: false, captionAndToolbarAutoHideDelay: 0 }); });
</script>
Then my page
<div data-role="page" id="page">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Title of my Page</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<ul id="Gallery" class="gallery">
<li>
<a href="../Images/img04.jpg">
<img src="../Images/img04.jpg" alt=""></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
When i land on this page everything works fine. Shall I use something like this?
That I took from this website, can I use JSON to accede to my ftp folder and than cycle the content?
Should I put this in a function? If yes who is going to call it?
$("#Photos").live("pagebeforeshow", function(){
$("ul#PhotoList").children().remove('li');
var tag = MyTag
$.getJSON("https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/" + tag + "/media/recent?callback=?&client_id=####",
function(data){
$.each(data.data, function(i,item){
$("ul#PhotoList").append('<li><img src="' + item.images.low_resolution.url + '" alt="' + item.caption.text + '" width="200" /></li>');
});
});
var photoSwipeInstance = $("ul#PhotoList a").photoSwipe();
});
Any help is appriciated, thank you in advance, I am sure my issue here is my limited knowledge.
You should use pageinit and pagebeforeshow Instead of $(document).ready. Also .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live(). http://api.jquery.com/live/
Append list Items:
$("#PhotoList").append('<li><a href="..
When you finish refresh the list to display your new list:
$('#PhotoList').listview('refresh');
Update:
I use php programs on my server in order to retrieve json strings. Something like this...
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET","http://192.168.100.2/sr/quotelisttest?name="+s,true);
xhr.send("");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4){
alert(xhr.readyState);
alert(xhr.responseText);
var v = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
