Server Side Include on Home Page

G

Guest

I want to use a server side include on my home page. However, if I give the
home page an SHTML extension, FrontPage no longer recognizes it as the home
page, and my navigation bars get messed up.

Is there a way to get FrontPage to recognize index.shtml as the home page?

Alternatively, is there way to get FrontPage to include data from a file in
a web page at browse time? I can't get the include webbot to work, because
the file to be included doesn't have <HTML> and <BODY> tags. (I'm not sure
the webbot would work anyway, since I think it might keep using what was
uploaded last, instead of the current version of the include file.)

FYI- What I'm trying to accomplish is to implement a news system. The news
script creates news and archive files with the news. These files need to be
included on the appropriate web pages.

Only if you are working against a web server, where you have access to make the index.shtml the
first default document in the default document list.

If you are hosted on a Windows IIS server then use could use the ASP Include statement, which is
basically the same as SSI, but FP would recognize the default.asp or index.asp file name as the home
page.
