Using #include Directive

Example

<!-- Main Page -->
<html>
<body>
    <!-- Include Header -->
    <!--#include file="header.asp" -->

    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>

    <!-- Include Footer -->
    <!--#include file="footer.asp" -->
</body>
</html>

<!-- header.asp -->
<div>
    <h2>This is the header</h2>
</div>

<!-- footer.asp -->
<div>
    <h2>This is the footer</h2>
</div>

Explanation: This example demonstrates how to include header and footer files into a main ASP page using the #include directive.
