Include problem with FP2003

whitesmith · Mar 20, 2007

I have a simple copyright message that I placed in an include file
called my_include.htm:

<body>
Copyright 2007 Yada, Yada
</body>

I insert the include file by doing this on a content page:
Insert
Web Component
Included Content
Page
browse to page_footer.htm
OK

This puts *only* the following code on the page: ""

In previous versions of FP included content always consisted of this
line followed by a startspan line, the actual included text, and an
endspan line. Is this minimalist approach the way FP 2003 is supposed
to work or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help -- I'm
frustrated by this unexpected behavior.

This is the way it's supposed to work and always did work this way. You
only see all the text if you do a View Source from your browser

In code view you will never see anything but

- in any version of FP

The Content of a valid FP include is written to the file on file save
- and removed (replaced by the webbot code above) when opened in a FP web

In the Browser (view source) is the only place where you would see

Occasionally you would see what you indicated, but that is an error on FP's part.

Thanks to all who replied. I've always used SlickEdit to manipulate
code and never thought that it (and browsers) see something that Code
View doesn't.

Do I have this right? When FP saves a page with included content, it
adds the startspan line, then the included code between <body> and </
body> tags, and finally the endspan line?
