SSI
provides web site designers with fast and powerful document options,
without adding to server overheads. A 'parser' is invoked by a web
server which looks for SSI tags within HTML documents.
Almost
no programming knowledge is required to execute scripts within a
document, database connectivity and inclusion of other documents
within an existing one.
