Frontpage 2003 + include files

R

Rakesh Gupta

Good morning folks...........neewbie here....need some
help....

I'm in the process of contructing some web pages, which
have the header, navigation, and footer pages as "include
files". see code below: -

</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<!--webbot bot="Include" u-include="../header.asp"
tag="BODY" --><table
border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
id="table3"
height="656">
<tr>
<td width="180" align="left" valign="top" height="300">
<!--webbot bot="Include" u-include="../nav.asp" tag="BODY"
--><p>&nbsp;</p>
</td>
<td align="center">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="46" width="180">&nbsp;</td>
<td height="46">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--webbot bot="Include" u-include="../footer.asp"
tag="BODY" -->

</body>
</html>

The problem I'm having, is when the page i'm creating sits
in a sub-directory, everything appears to be ok when i
view the page in "design mode", but when i preview the
same page in a browser, the nav.asp disappears. This
doesn't seemt o be a problem when the page resides in the
root directory...........any help on this would be most
appreaciated.....spent most of the early hours of this
morning trying to figure this one out.....

With FP2003, you can only include .htm or .html pages, this was done by
design, but will be corrected in a service pack (no time have been given for
the release of this service pack). In the meantime, you would either have to
rename all includes to .htm.

or

You can purchase the J-bots FP IncludeASP add-in from

Mike,

MS is aware of the issue, and at some point plans to fix the issue. Most
likely via a service pack.

Hi Guys,

The header.asp and the footer.asp seems to work fine -
even without renaming them to .html pages....

the only one that doesn't seem to work is the nav.asp

Bu tI will take a look at the J-Bots add-in

It is not a bug, it was done by design (security), as far as I know, a KB
has not been issued.

If you search by thru the newsgroup, you will find a discussion on the
issues.
