Hi,

I need some help to figure out something (hopefully, can be done). I have an asp page that basically puts 3 different files together using SSI and asp code to generate one page.

i.e. header.asp + temp.asp + footer.asp

temp.asp will be different depending on which menu the user clicks. The asp code takes care of that.

Now, in temp.asp... the asp code i'm putting doesn't get executed because the browser is getting it as text.

Is there a way to execute asp code inside another asp page?
I've tried putting a javascript alert and that works. But i can't figure it out for asp.

Thanks for any help.

oops in vbscript its the execute function (see below)

<html>
<body>
<%
dim str_asp
str_asp = &quot;dim lng_count&quot; & vbcrlf & _
&quot;for lng_count = 1 to 10&quot; & vbcrlf & _
&quot;response.write lng_count & &quot;&quot;<br>&quot;&quot;&quot; & vbcrlf & _
&quot;next&quot;
execute str_asp
Response.write &quot;Done.&quot;
%>
</body>

You're not a complete programmer unless you know how to guess.
I hope I never consider myself an 'expert'.

ahh .. or in your case why not just use server.execute

you can either use fso to read a file into a string and execute that, or server.execute the file itself

is executing the file more efficient that including the js file? :)

Yes... executing is server side...js is clientside.

Yeah, server.execute works fine. But codestorm's execute works great too. I didn't know we have a function like that. It allows us to build dynamic includes, which I needed a lot in the past. He deserved a star :)
