Javascript import html is it possible?

Question

I have some html pages with the same footer. With javascript and only javascript could i import another html page inside it?

Answer 1

You can use ajax to return a whole HTML page. If you wanted to replace the whole page you could replace the body tag and all it's children currently on the page with the body tag returned from the ajax call.

If you wanted to just replace a section you'd have to write a server-side script to create that section, then use ajax as above but just replace an element rather than the whole page.
