Is it possible to import HTML using JavaScript?

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

As above, one method is to use jQuery load. I happened to be doing the exact same thing now, so will post a quick example.

Using jQuery:

$("#yourDiv").load('readHtmlFromHere.html #readMe');

And your readHtmlFromHere.html page would consist of:

<div><div id="readMe"><p>I'm some text</p></div></div>
