Simple Server Side Include

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 11.2012

Hi guys,
We have a very simple web site that I am trying to update add more pages etc and for this I want to use a simple DHTML menu that is on my navigation page and call this up for each page so I only have one file to worry about when adding menu items etc. Easy eh? I would have thought so as I have done this before on a previous site using PHP include.

The current site I’m working on is HTML only so I am trying to use either

<!–#include virtual=”NavigationNavpage.html” –>
or
<!–#include file =”NavigationNavpage.html” –>

Neither of these seem to work when the called file (Navpage) is is a seperate directory. I can get it to work if I put the calling page into the same folder as the called page.

It seems to be an adress problem as I am getting this error when the page is served – [an error occurred while processing this directive].

I have tried all variations of / and and ..

The calling page is SHTML and I have modded the .htaccess file thus

[QUOTE]

DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

[/QUOTE]

Can someone call me stupid and point out where I have missed the full stop?

It has been known for me to spend a week trying to get a page to serve when all I had to do was chanhe a capitalisation :eek::eek::eek:

Thanks in advance.

I think you were using backslash, and not slash?

I've tried both / and .

@Major_PayneFeb 12.2012 — Enabling .shtml extentions:

In the .htaccess file for your website, place the following code:

AddType text/html .shtml

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

File in different directory (Leave off the folder name):

<!--#include virtual="/filename" -->


File in same directory (Leave off the folder name):

<!--#include file="filename" -->

Since your Navpage.html is in its own folder for all pages, you'll use the SSI for different directory on all pages.
