Include Virtual on IIS

[jakenoble]

Hi

I did not know where to post this, so feel free to tell me to move it.

How do I implement into a HTML page, with Internet Information Services, running on win XP.

My server is working fine, I just can't seem to get the right settings, or the right code in my page, I am using


Do i need to use a script tag?

My test.html to include, what format does that need to be in, I read somewhere that I did not need to include head tags, is there any special code that needs to be included in this file?

Does anyone know of any tutorials on this subject, that will break it down and explain it well enough for to understand why I am doing what?

Thanks in advance

You're trying to use SSI (Server Side Includes). Files of this nature are usually identified by the server by having the extension ".shtml" instead of ".html". I think IIS should pick up on that and automatically use your commands.

managed to get it working with

<?php require_once('../pages/buttons_forpages.html'); ?>

I probably should have said I was using PHP

LOL, sorry. Seeing as you were using IIS I assumed you were using ASP or SSI.
