Show (not link to) 2nd page ON current page?

[jrpatdlgs]

I've been told that there is a <simple> script or &quot;server side include&quot; that will allow a web page (#1) to display (not link to) the contents of another web page (#2) on the original page (#1). The code I was given to insert is:

<#include file=&quot;

http://www.x.x./xxx/filename.htm&quot;>

Something is missing -- it doesn't work.

Can anyone help out? Your response will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

John,

There should be 3 thing to use SSI
1) server that supports SSI;
2) file extension that can support SSI;
3) correct code.

If you are using any sort of server-side scripting, such as ASP, JSP, PHP, ColdFusion, etc., your server and file extensions are OK for SSI.

If you are using simple HTML you should
1) save file with special extension .shtml or .shtm (there could be some others but these two are the most common);
2) check that your server supports SSI and .shtml or .shtm files either by testing it (uploading files to the server) or by askoing your ISP about it.

Any way you must use correct code for inserting SSI
<!--#include virtual=&quot;any_file.any&quot; -->
Good Luck!
