How to include .ASP in an index.html file

[Guest]

We have developed a simple ASP page that will display a scrolling text
message with siren lights on either sides for our Intranet page to aler users
of problems. The text is pulled from a access database and works great
independently of our site.

We want to include the alert.asp page in the index.html of our Intranet
site. So I'm trying to use the INCLUDE Component on the alert.asp but when I
publish and view the index.html it just show the error [FRONTPAGE COMPONENT].

Is there a way to incluse an asp using the include function? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

You can not include asp code in a .htm(l) page unless you modify the server to process .htm(l) pages
as .asp pages. The easiest solution is to rename you home page to default.asp, then do a ASP (SSI)
include.

By definition, an .htm or .html file won't be processed by the server as
ASP. So any ASP code in the file will be ignored. This is without reguard
for what method or what code you have included by other means.

The file name MUST end in .ASP for it to work.

So just change the file name to "index.asp" (and change the default file
name on the server if necessary) to get it to work, then just use an include
file to put the code in or place it in directly).
