Rather than <!--- include file= try this: <!--- include virtual=.



There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Hi mate,

You have the whole situation the wrong way round.

Rename your intro.htm to intro.shtml and leftnav.shtml to leftnav.htm, then update the reference in the include to point to the new named file.

Hope this helps

Just to clarify on my last post.

shtml is the most common used extension for SSI. The actual page with the includes needs to be shtml. Any includes you make should not be shtml unless you have SSI statements within the included page.

If you name all of your includes shtml, then the server will parse every one of them for SSI statements every single time, because it doesn't know if they have SSI in them until it parses them. When you start getting into a high number of hits, this can cause a performace hit.

Hope this helps

Wullie
