'Includes"

[Gary Dix]

I have been told that you use Includes to repeat web pages within tables. For example CNN may use it to repeat their article headings across pages. How do I use these things. My site is in frames and I want to move to using tables without having to reenter the same info for each page, and then have the headache of updating each page.

Any assistance is well appreciated.

You can either use Frontpage's Include Webbot, or change your page to an ASP page, and use
<!--#include file="filename"-->
where "filename" is the name of the file you wish to include, could be something like a banner, a menu, etc.

It doesn't need to be an ASP page.
Rename your html page to "*.shtml"

This tells the webserver to look for "SSI" commands, almost all webservers support this these days.

There are a ton of differnet SSI commands, but yeah, the one you're looking for was stated above.

Problem is, when testing the page on your own harddrive, this Include wont work, because you're viewing it "straight-up," not through a webserver that preprocesses the SSI commands for you.

It will only work on the webserver.

Or set up your own server and test it on there.
