Thanks to everyone for their responses. I tried subsituting a variable for
"<" as Stephen Thorin suggested, but that didn't work. I also checked the
carriage returns as Peter Newton suggested, but they were fine. Peter Benoit
asked if I really could write an include statement with Javascript. I still
don't know, but I do know you can write other "include" type statements,
such as CSS and javascript file links.

I decided to go to using ASP for the form, since I'm on an IIS server (not
my choice of server). In this way, I can set a variable in the link to the
form (eg, www.mysite.com/myform.asp?formtype=info) and then use Case to
display the correct include statement like this:

<%
Select Case Request("formtype")
Case "info" %>
<!--#include virtual='/includes/include1.html'-->
<% Case "ui_reg" %>
<!--#include virtual='/includes/include2.html'--> 
<% Case Else %>
<!--#include virtual='/includes/include1.html'-->
<% 
End Select
%> 

This is also working in the remainder of the form to customize headings and
explanatory text. So I'm happy, I guess.
