reusing common sections in a webpage

Question

Ok, I have searched on web and stackoverflow too, but no success.

I just want the code of header, nav-bars, footers etc. to be reused. I just want them to sit at their own respective files and then I want all other file to link these files.

How will we do these in html5 way.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks Raja

Do you have a web server? The simplest way are server-side includes. — bfavaretto, Aug 01 '13 at 19:08

This isn't really possible with plain HTML. For reusing HTML chunks in your web page you basically have two options: 1. Server side templates via PHP, Twig, Smarty or the likes. 2. Or you can do client side templates with MustacheJS, Jade or Handlebars.

yes, the same wiki. Btw, Handlebars looked lot simpler. Thanks for that. – RAJA MALIK Aug 01 '13 at 19:31
