Adding server-side includes
Dreamweaver has made inserting a server-side include in your Web page straightforward. You can use a
Dreamweaver object to easily select and bring in the files to be included. Any other type of SSI, such as
declaring a variable, must be entered by hand, but you can use the Comment object to do so without opening
the Code view.
