webbot bot="Include" ---- Not working

M

Mike Hanby

Howdy all,

I'm creating a site in FP2003 and publishing it to a Linux Apache
server. I've installed the FP2002 extensions (although I don't know if
they are installed correctly).

Anywho, I'm trying to include a page inside a table on my pages that
displays a "What's New" info.

FP2003 created the following code in my index.htm file to do this:
<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="whatsnew.htm" TAG="BODY" -->

The file whatsnew exists in the web root directory.
The page displays properly inside of Frontpage 2003, it doesn't,
however, view correctly when I publish it to my apache server.

Basically, the table where it is included is empty.

1) I'm assuming this is a FP Extension issue, is that correct?
I was under the impression that Frontpage would insert the contents
of the page when I hit the Publish button?

2) If so, does anyone know of a way (without using frames) to include
the contents of another page inside an existing page?

The include page must be within the same web as the page you are including it in. This is a design
time control and is inserted in your page when you save the page. It doesn't depend on the
extensions at run time.

Make sure neither page has any broken or missing HTML tags, specific the open and closing body tags
on the include page.

Thanks Thomas, that was the problem. Apparently it wasn't part of my
web, even though the included HTM file was in the same directory as the
index.htm file that it was getting included into.
