im using xsl to create HTMl. i want part of the html to come from an external fil eg, dropDown.inc

i have tried using <!--#include file=&quot;dropDown.inc&quot; but this doesnt work!

maybe you're trying to do something different to what i think but in the xsl you can copy in an external file like







<xsl:copy-of select=&quot;document('ext.html')&quot;/>







i think this is ok

hmmm. i've used this before and never had any problems.
if you've defined any namespaces anywhere then that could cause a problem but i don't know why it would.
