A server-side include is an instruction contained in the HTML source of a web page that instructs the web server to include another section of HTML from elsewhere on the server within this web page. Server-side includes are often used to display common information within different pages on the same site. The use of server-side includes will increase the load on the web server, since it requires the server to parse each page before displaying it.
Neither AppleShare IP nor Personal Web Sharing provide inherent support for server-side includes. However, AppleShare IP version 5.0.2 and later provide support for plug-ins that work with the WebStar API. Some third-party plug-ins may provide support for server-side includes on your AppleShare IP web server. For more information on using plug-ins with AppleShare IP, please see the following article:

Personal Web Sharing version 1.5.x and earlier do not work with plug-ins.
