Include Files

[Michael42]

Using ASP I can use include files so I do not require the same code for say my header and footer in every page. Can I do this in standard HTML?

Any suggestions?


Thanks!

If your server supports Server Side Includes, yes

Have a search in this forum for more info on SSI's

Hi Michael, hi ayjaycee,

I found this and variations of it in this forum:

<!-- #include file=&quot;header.txt&quot; -->

I also found a very enticing way to use JavaScript (.js) files. The catch here is that if someone does not have JavaScript enabled you are out of luck. Why would someone disable JavaScript? Is this done from the Browser settings on the client side?

Also, I thought I remembered a <TEXT> type HTML tag. I have code that I'd like to run in ASP and pure HTML environments. Looking for the best solution before coding a million lines.

<!-- #include file=&quot;header.txt&quot; --> is cool but it seems the calling file MUST be ASP (not .html).

Any more thoughts???

Thanks again for all your feedback guys\gals,

Michael

Hi Boomerang - I knew it was there somewhere, I was just too lazy to go searching for it! |-I


Michael, for SSI's to work, you normally have to rename the calling file to something.shtml although you may be able to re-configure your server to process *.html files too.

With ASP, I just call my include files .inc files.
It works perfectly. Calling pages .txt and .html is when you start to run into problems.
