Include an html page in an ASP script

hp12 · Nov 10, 2002

I have an ASP script where I generate a table. Each cell is a different html page. The main cell is generated dynamically.

I cannot use an include because the path has to be hard coded.
Hi everyone!!

I cannot use a Server.Transfer or Server.Execute because it looks for any images reference in the same folder as the asp.

I am creating this page for a group of users and I want to allow them to put the html and images in one folder.

Can anyone please tell me if there is another way to reference an html page within a table cell dynamically and not use include, server.execute or server.transfer.

Thanks!!!time a table cell is

why not use include? you can specify a virtual path:



this would be the same as hard-coding "

http://www.mysite.com/someFolder/another/file.html"

as the path...this method will work at any level in the folder tree since it starts at the root "/"

I need to create the path dynamically. I have to come back to this asp page everytime a link is selected and it will create the link at the top.

Here is my code:

<%
Dim pagesrc, menu, page, fs, fo
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

set fo=fs.GetFolder( Server.MapPath( "/" ) )
pagesrc = Request.QueryString("page&quot

menu = Request.QueryString("menu&quot

page=fo &"/"& menu&"/"& pagesrc & "/"&pagesrc&".html"
If (fs.FileExists(page)) = false Then
pagesrc="Home"
menu="Top_Menu"
End If
page= menu&"/"& pagesrc & "/"&pagesrc&".html"
%>
<html>
<head>

<script language=javascript>

</script>
</head>
<body>

<table border=1>
<tr>
<td rowspan=2>
<img src="logo.jpg">
</td>
<td>
<img src="school_name.jpg">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign=top>

</td>
<td>
<%
********** HERE IS MY PROBLEM *******
Server.Execute(page)
%>

</td>
</tr>

</table>
</body>
</html>

could u be more specific ...of what u're trying to create in your asp page, specially in your

Code:

<td ></td>

tag ???

Sure,

This is a webpage with a menu across the top (banner.asp). Every time you click on a link in the top menu, it will refer you back to the page with the code displayed above (index.asp). banner.asp passes in 2 variables, "top_menu" and the name of the link pressed (ie."home&quot

so the cell will link to top_menu/home/home.html (path)

"path" is the link I am trying to display in the table cell (between <td ></td>)

Could you use something like this, this means you can dynamically include a file into your page

whichfile="FileToRead"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

Set thisfile = fs.OpenTextFile(whichfile, 1, False)
tempSTR=thisfile.readall
response.write tempSTR
thisfile.Close
set thisfile=nothing
set fs=nothing Saturday 12.00

Or you could set up a case statement with all the possible includes and then it would include all of them but only process the one related to the users click:

Code:

<td>
   <% 
   '********** HERE IS MY PROBLEM *******
   'Server.Execute(page)
   Select Case(page)
      Case &quot;home&quot;
         %><!--#include file=&quot;home/home.html&quot;--><%
      Case &quot;otherstuff&quot;
         %><!--#include file=&quot;home/otherstuff.html&quot;--><%
      Case &quot;mylinks&quot;
         %><!--#include file=&quot;home/mylinks.html&quot;--><%
      Case Else
         %><!--#include file=&quot;home/linkerror.html&quot;--><%
   End Select
   %>
</td>

Just another point of view,
