Can anyone remember...

...seeing an article very recently on using the <object> tag to import html into a page, kind of like a Server Side Include?

It was along the lines of (I think)..

<object src="/template/snippet.html" type="text/html"></object>

I was sure I saw it on a recent Sitepoint newsletter, but I couldn't find it. Also couldn't find it on a google.

Try data="" instead of src="". It doesn't work in IE6 though.

An alternative is <iframe>.

Thanks Simon. I'm sure I saw a cross browser compat version though. Don't want to use dirty iframes

Is this it?

Yup Johnny - that's it! Cheers for finding it.

zcorpan - it does work with IE6 on local files (eg data="template/example.html"), but not remote files (eg data="http://www.google.com/index.html").
