just rename your *.htm files to *.shtml or put

AddHandler server-parsed .htm
in a .htaccess file and upload it.

ummmm

i renamed the htlm to shtml and that did not work, i cant find a htaccess file

all im trying to do is add an at3 top list to html

you may have to enable it in the htaccess first. the .htaccess file is a hidden file, when you are logged in via ssh you can see it by doing an 'ls -all'. Your ftp client should show it in ftp. if the file isnt there, you'll have to create it. Just use notepad and create a file called .htaccess and paste the following line in to it.

AddHandler server-parsed .htm

In addition, I think dreamhost only allows relative paths for includes. This means that if you're trying to call a file at http://foo.com/at3/toplist8.html then you would need to use a path like at3/toplist8.html. If that doesnt make any snese, google up absolute and relative paths.
