css flyout menu include 1

[brk1221]

I have the following line of code on most of my pages adding a navigational menu:

<!--#include virtual="jmgmenu.html" -->

We just changed servers and now it's not showing up. Any suggestions? Is there another way to display the menu on all the pages?

Thanks

Sounds like you don't have SSI (Server Side Includes) properly configured in your new server.

You'll need to look up the SSI configuration procedure for whatever web server you are using.

I checked with our hosting Co. and they said SSI is supported.

Hi,
I use SSI's alot, particularly for including menus etc. but I normally save the file as a .txt file. This file just has the tags that make up the menu or whatever html feature I want to include. Obviously the include file must be in the same directory as the page you want it to be included in or the link to it must have the path to include file if it's not in the same directory

Hope this is of help

virtual" includes should start with a forward slash '/' and be referenced from the site root.

"file" includes are referenced from the document.

I got it to work when I re-named the file containing the include with a .shtml extention. Is there any way around that. I don't think I can name my home page index.shtml. And I dont want to re-name all my pages.

Thanks

Is there any way around that.

Yes!


How? Depends on the server technology

I put in a request to our host. It's a Linux box running Apache 2.0.5.1 That's all I know about it so far.

Ok add this to your root .htaccess file

AddType text/html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .html

That will make files with a .html extension be parsed for SSI directives.
