FP2003 Include duplicating content

N

Nathan Martin

Hello all,

I need some serious help because I'm about to pull what little of my hair
out that's left!

On my site I use the include webbot quite a bit. I finally have a better
picture of how the include webbot works, i.e., that it actually saves the
content of the included file into the target file upon SAVING the included
or target file. I thought it was like SSI in that it was upon viewing.

So here's the problem. One of the pages that I include ends up getting
duplicated everytime I modify it in FP. It's as if FP doesn't use the
startspan and endspan code properly, ignoring the fact that the included
page is already there and puts the newly formated included below the
previously inserted copy. This only happens to the askform.htm, not to any
other included content (masthead.htm, menuleft.htm, copyright.htm, etc).
That leads me to believe that something within the askform.htm file may be
confusing FP. Here's the file:

==========BEGIN CODE==========

Oops! I accidentally sent the message before completing it.

When I look at the code I notice the "startspan" in the first webbot that
saves the results. Could it be that this startspan is confusing FP - perhaps
FP is getting the startspan of the include webbot and the startspan of the
SaveResults webbot confused? Or similar question with the endspan values?

My FP is 2003 and it is 100% up to date. Additionally I'm publishing to a
Unix server which has the most recent extensions. Any advice???

Thanks,
Nathan

There are some bugs in FP & in the FP2002 SE related to shared borders & include pages
so make sure you (and your host) see & apply all appropriate patches from:

For the Host/Server running the FP2002 SE

For Unix server problems on the FP2002 SE see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q299360
The latest FP SE for Unix that fix the problems
(FPSE 2000 1.4 patch and an FPSE 2002 SR 1.1 patch)
are at http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport

Thanks for the info, Stefan. I've checked the pages in question and server
DOES have the most recent SE, i.e., 5.0.2.2623, as per
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnservext02/html/fpse02unix.asp .
So, since I have the most recent version of the 2002 Server Extensions and
since my FP2003 client is fully updated, do you have any other suggestions?
At this point I'm ready to abandong the FP webbot and go to ssi includes.
Help??????

Thanks,
Nathan
