Querystring to determine is file is included? 1

[ca8msm]

I want to include a header file on one of my pages depending on the result of a query string. i.e.

<%
if request.querystring(&quot;Test&quot;)=&quot;1&quot; then
response.write &quot;<!-- #include file=&quot;&quot;../includes/header.asp&quot;&quot;-->&quot;
end if
%>
[code]

This header file is basically a menu that will be hidden depending on a set number of arguments which in turn will set the querystring to 0 or 1.

If I set the querystring as 0 and do
[code]
response.write request.querystring(&quot;Test&quot;)

then i get 0 as expected and I get 1 if I set it as one. All fine so far...

If I view the source of the document when it is 1 the include is there and it isn't if it is 0....Still fine...

Only problem is the menu is not actually displayed. If I do away with the if statement and just include the file regardless of the querystring then the menu is displayed. Is there a reason why I would not be able to only include a file depending on this querystring?

Hi,

include files cannot be dynamically included due to processing sequence. In other words the files are "included" before any programming decision is ever made.

Try using Server.Execute instead.

hope this helps,
