Not running server side scripts

[Monkeygumbo]

Guys,

I have a copy of my college's webpage (every file) on my local computer. It uses mainly html and some javascripts. I can view the website on the college server just fine.

I'm trying to host the webpage from my computer using IIS to view the changes I'm making to it. However, when I open the webpage in I.E., server side scripts aren't being running. Specifically, this line.....

<!--#include virtual=&quot;/fcba/MenuHead.inc&quot;-->

If I change the extension on the webpage to .asp, the browser handles it correctly.

Any ideas?

Are you running the pages through the webserver?

On your local machine your web address should be

http://localhost/virtualdirectory/file.asp

After reading your post again, it seems like you already running through the webserver if your .asp file extension is working.

It's probably beter to use .asp extensions for your include files anyway, they will be more secure. BDC.

The problem is that the file will eventually be put on a simple, non-asp server.

You might want to try the HTML/CSS forum for expert advice as this extends beyond the bounds of ASP if your server won't be running it.

Good luck!! BDC.
