Calling an ASP page from a HTML page

[Guest_imported]

WE want to call an ASP page that will contain our site navigation in html. But call it from pages with .htm extension. Our site is on an NT server. Is this workable?

It certainly is, as long as your NT server can run asp pages (most of them do) Derren

You mean you want to dynamically include an ASP page into HTML page, like you do with include files?

I am pretty sure you can't do that...

You can use frames to do it, though.

Or, why not just rename .htm file to .asp? Is there any specific reason you don't want to do it?

Then, in page1.asp you would just do Server.Execute("page2&quot to display the site navigation...

Hope this helps <Dmitriy>

It sounds to me like you are asking whether or not you can use #include to include an asp file from a .htm file. The answer is no, you can't. I tried for days and days to do this and found nothing. Unless there is an IIS patch out there, you will have to rename the .htm file to be one that supports the include directive. (asp, cgi, cf). Brett Birkett B.Comp

I really should read the question properly. I had this idea that they were using a frameset. Derren

You haven't even asked if they have IIS installed.

Thankyou for your replies to date.
Unfortunately if we rename our existing .htm pages to .asp, we screw up our page positions on search engines. So final conclusion is each page that will contain the Server Side Include must be saved with the .asp extension?

Yes, or .cgi, or cold fusion etc..
