Server Side Include and Scoping...

[greaver]

Hey Guys,

I'm working with a html that has a navigation bar that I would like to pull out into another file and reuse. I've tried using server-side includes but I found that the onClick event don't seem to be able to cross page boundaries. That is the onclick event can only be captured by javascript that exists in the navigation-bar file and not in a file that includes this script. Is there anyway around this?

Sonny.

Whatever's wrong with your script, that isn't it. Server Side Includes run on the server, hence the name. Javascript runs in the browser. By the time the script gets to work on the page it doesn't know (or care) which bits were "original" and which were filled in by SSI. Do a view source on your page and you'll see what I mean - no SSI directives, just plain ol' HTML.
