Includes

[Danette]

I am trying to change my site from frames. Since I use
FP2000, this has been very difficult. I have many links
and many pages. Someone suggested doing "includes" so I
can just change that page, and not 500 pages!
My problem:

I have this code:
<!--#include file="include/header.htm" -->
(body goes here- blah, blah)
<!--#include file="include/footer.htm" -->

I have created the "header" and footer" and uploaded them.
so I took a sample.htm, put the code in, uploaded, and
the header and footer don't show up! what am I doing
wrong??
another thing- when I "view source" on the sample.htm, it
doesn't show the codes above.. is Frontpage taking them
out?

Please help!
Thank you!

Perhaps they were suggesting the FP include component?

You can only use:

<!--#include file="include/header.htm" -->

If you are hosted on a server with SSI or ASP and then you would have to
rename all pages to have either .asp or .shtml extensions.

Instead use the FP Include Page component, under Insert Menu | Components |
Include.
