Need some help with using includes

For some strange reason I cant seem to get includes to work.

I am using the code:

<!--#include virtual="menu.html" -->

With no success I wondered if anyone could help me work out why its not working!

Thanks

 

what's that a template engine tags? try using php include('menu.html');

 

That would require my pages being php. I am using HTML pages thus the need for my include.

 

try this instead
<!--#include file="menu.html" --> and make sure the path to menu.html is correct. or it should be in the same directory where the current file resided.

Thanks
