Problem using Include file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 02.2008

I have a simple navigation bar called navtop.html. When I include it in a new document and save the new doc with an .html extension the nav bar doesn’t appear. If I save the new doc with an .asp extension, the nav bar appears fine. Am I missing something if I include it in an .html file? I’m using this simple include code:
<!–#include file=”navtop.html” –>

@svidgenDec 02.2008 — Are there any differences in permissions between the html and asp variants?

Are they being stored in the same directory?

@TheBearMayDec 03.2008 — .asp files are server processed before being sent to the browser so the include gets picked up, by default .html files are only served up and are not examined by the server. This can be changed....

...as long as the file is marked to be processed by the server first.... ASP files are generally found on IIS, and only rarely on Apache.

Touche.

Directions for adding a file extension to be server processed under IIS:

I'm interested to see if that resolves the issue. I'm pretty confident that special file extensions don't need to be explicitly listed anywhere to allow them for inclusion under Apache. If that's not the case for SSI in IIS, that might be good to know.

@TheBearMayDec 03.2008 — For Apache you'll find a line similiar to:

[I]AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html .htm

[/I]

in the .htaccess or http.conf files. This line controls what the server looks at.

I'm aware of these directives. However, they don't control what files can be included--only what files can do the including. Correct?

Success!
