Hi !
I uploaded my own web host using the iis windows xp host server.
i wrote a text file using html syntax to write my personal details at the bottom of my web page, calling this file: "mydetails.txt".
Than' at the bottom of my web page (called "index.html") i call that text file using the following syntax:


<!--#include file="mydetails.txt"-->


but nothing happened, my personal details do not show up at the bottom of the pages.
Apparently, i dont really know how to do ssi and i wonder if anyone at this forum could help me with that.
Thanks a lot !

different Chris [lol]

Your problem from your first post is you are using the wrong file extension for SSI.

the default for ALL webservers is to use [blue][highlight]s[/highlight][/blue]html for SSI pages.

You might try posting your code (copy and paste) so we can see what you actually have rather than guess.

I copied and pasted your code into files on my computer, running IIS with XP Pro, and it worked fine. Is footer.txt in the same folder as the page including it?

Have you enabled server side includes in the IIS control panel?
