A safe option for you would be using iframes. Basically, you create an
external HTML file as you said, which only includes the links you want.
You can then insert the external page into your main page (and other
pages) using the following tag:
<iframe src="whatever.html" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height=""
width=""></iframe>
Fill in the blanks and you're good to go. If you set scrolling to yes
and there is more content than can be displayed in the space you have
allocated, a scrollbar will be present. Frameborder removes the border
that appears by default. In regard to placement on the page etc., just
approach entering that code as you would with an image file. In terms
of occupying space on the page, it works the same way.
It's probably a good idea to have no page margins in the external HTML
file, if your CSS file doesn't handle that already. You can do this by
adjusting the <body> tag:
<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">
....as well as the other usual stuff that goes in there.
