Use [`fetch()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetch) to request the HTML file from the server. Call [`.text()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response/text) on the `Response` object you get from the `fetch` in order to get the HTML contents as a string. You can then insert the string into a DOM node with [`.insertAdjacentHTML()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/insertAdjacentHTML) (which is recommended over anything involving `.innerHTML` for performance reasons). `fetch` and `text` return promises, so make sure you have some familiarity with [how those work](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises).
