Virtual Include not work

[Jimuniguy]

Hi,

I am trying to get this virtual include to work:

<!--#include virtual=&quot;/css/stylesback1.css&quot; -->

At present, the file I am accessing is in a directory called ASP, and the CSS file is in a CSS folder, both are in the root folder, aka one click away

So why is this include not working for?

Cheers

James

Hi James,

The syntax for including a stylesheet is different to other documents. Use this code in the head section:

<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;/css/stylesback1.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;>

Hope that works for u.

Hi Nick,

Yes I know how to normally do a CSS file (Been programming HTML for years now), but I want to do it as an include in an ASP page.

It works just fine if the file is in the same directory, as a normal #include file command, but it wont do the virtual command when the CSS is in a different folder.

Suggestions?

Cheers

James

Just knock off the first / from the src address:

<!--#include virtual=&quot;css/stylesback1.css&quot; -->

Should do the trick

just looked in my ASP book/bible and it says:

&quot;Note that the included file can be in the same directory or in a subdirectory, but it cannot be in a directory above the page with the #include directive.&quot;

Hi,

Nah I sorted out.

First of all, Howard Marks (Nick) <!--#include virtual=&quot;css/stylesback1.css&quot; --> code is right

What i hadn't realised is, is that I was including the file twice over and had not actually changed the second file.

Silly me.

All is well.

Cheers Nick for your support, I now know why i stayed away from ASP for such a long time

Thanks all

why cant you just:

<!-- #INCLUDE FILE=&quot;css/stylesback1.css&quot; -->

make sure you have the <STYLE> and </STYLE> tags around the include

See above why, my own silly mistake!

Cheers though
