Include statement

Most of my pages are .html files.

I can not get the Include statement to work in side a .html page. but If I "run it" http://ewingsofmonroe.com/process/security-check.asp it works.

`include` only works in .asp files. HTML files aren't compiled or ran by the server, they are just sent to the browser.

	Dg Ewing OP @Reply 4 years ago
can i change all of my .html extensions to .asp without problems/issues?

	Alex Hedley @Reply 4 years ago
Try it and see... But yes you can, ASP files can have static HTML in them.

	Dg Ewing OP @Reply 4 years ago
you da man....so far they work

	Dg Ewing OP @Reply 4 years ago
and must the include file be in the root or the folder where it is being called from?

	Alex Hedley @Reply 4 years ago
`!--#include virtual="somefilename"--` or `!--#include file ="somefilename"--`

	Alex Hedley @Reply 4 years ago
You can link to a path, just make sure it's relative to the file you are writing it in. I usually have a strict folder structure so it's easy to remember where things are.

this did not work. <!--#include file ("../process/security-check.asp") but this did work <!--#include file ("security-check.asp")
