Most servers have the ability to break pages into parts to give the author
the ability to include common elements from a single file. Unfortunatly
this process is only viewable on pages that are on the server. The code
required is as follows:
<!--#include virtual="/dir/file.ext"-->
<!--#include file="subdir/file.ext"-->
Lets break
it down in order to understand it more.
- <!-- -->
Includes are placed in comment code hiding it from display when viewed
outside of the server enviroment.
- #include
Identifies the code to the server as an include event.
- virtual="/webclass/includes/nav_bar.htm"
Identifies the page that will be included at the point
on the page the include statment is placed.
Notes:
Do not leave any spaces between the equal ("=") sign
and the file it specifies. Doing so will cause an error message
to be displayed.
If you use a domain name you must use the virtual
command. file only works with Powertrain URLs.

- virtual
- gives a virtual path to a document on the server. A normal file or
another parsed document may be accessed using this tag. Please note
that the path of this file name should be the URL of the file, with
the domain name removed, and the userid added. For instance, if the
URL of a file is "http://www.your-domain.com/products/footer.txt"
and your userid is "userid" then the path to use with this include directive
would be: "/userid/products/footer.txt"
Example: <!--#include virtual="/virtual_sample.txt"-->
This is a sample text file. It was
included in this file by the include virtual tag:
<!--#include virtual="/webcom/virtual_sample.txt"-->.
This paragraph includes a hotlink,
and tags such as bold and emphasis.
- file
- gives a pathname relative to the current directory. ../ cannot be
used in this pathname, nor can absolute paths be used. (If you need
to refer to a file in a higher directory, you might consider using virtual
described above.) As above, you can send other parsed documents.
Example: <!--#include file="sample.txt"-->
This is a sample text file. It was
included in this file by the include file tag:
<!--#include file="sample.txt"-->.
This paragraph includes a hotlink,
and tags such as bold and emphasis.
The requirements
of an included page:
- <HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML> Needs to be
removed.
- Javascript that you want to include should be placed between <HEAD></HEAD>
statments.
