You can use SSI to import a header and footer file from another directory. You'll have to enable it in IIS as it's not enabled by default. You can read up on it here.

Basically, once you have it enabled in IIS, you can do:

<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/includes/header.htm"-->

To include the header.htm file from the includes folder in the root of your website at that point in your HTML.

Edit
Note: If you're using classic ASP, you can also pass variables into an included page which makes it handy for setting things like the <title> external to your template.

HTML has no (serious) templating facilities. Use a template language. ASP.NET masterpages are one option. Others include Template-Toolkit (Perl), Mustache (Cross-language) and Smarty (PHP).
