What is SHTML and how do you use it? Is it easier than HTML? Also, what is DHTML?

shtml is the extension for server side includes (ssi) files. ssi is one of the ways you can make dynamic pages. for instance if you have a menu on the left side of your site. you can have one menu file and include it into all other pages. the advantage is that if you need to change a menu link you change it in one place and it's a global change.

dhtml is dynamic html. dhtml is done with javascript to make things move, basically to fancy up a site. if you use it you have to be carefull of compatibility and if the user has there javascript turned off. when it works it's usually pretty slick.

Thanks. Do you know anywhere where I can learn (for free, and please make it a decent website) how to use SHTML?

i only found 2 online that i kinda liked.

lissa has one but it doesn't tell you much http://www.lissaexplains.com/html6.shtml
i like this one a little better 'cos it's from apache http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html just skip over the configeration stuff unless you're gonna run your own webserver.

i did a word search in google for ssi tutorial.

Thanks, I'll go take a look.

there's another site: htmllite (http://www.htmlite.com)
