Applying and Modifying Library Items
Applying Server-Side Includes
In some ways, the server-side include (SSI) is the predecessor of the Dreamweaver Library item. The difference
between them is that Dreamweaver updates the Web pages with Library items at design time; whereas,
the server handles the updating with server-side includes at runtime (when the files are actually served to
the user). Server-side includes can also include server variables, such as the current date and time (both
local and Greenwich mean time) or the date on which the current file was last saved.
Because server-side includes are integrated in the standard HTML code, a special file extension identifies
pages using them. Any page with server-side includes is most often saved with either the .shtml or .shtm
extension on UNIX servers and .asp or .aspx on Windows servers.
