I have used includes with coldfusion before and I know how powerful they can be.

I have never tried using it with straight HTML before. I have created a header.html in an includes folder. I have done some research and I have also tried \*.ssi and \*.shtml but none of them work. What am I doing wrong?

**My calls in Dreamweaver:**

\<!–#include virtual=“includes/header.shtml” --\>  
\<!–#include virtual=“includes/header.ssi” --\>  
\<!–#include virtual=“includes/header.html” --\>

I post it and it doesn’t work.
