webbots included content

M

MikeW

I would like the ability to allow others to ftp pages to
the website. I have so far figured out that I cannot have
extension running on the unix server. This is not an
issue.

Basically what I would like to do is use the included
content webbot. All the person sending data would need to
do is write a text document in Word and save it as an
x.htm file. I would do all the formating and using a
webbot grab there text and display it on mypage.htm.

The problem is that the webbot will not update. If the
x.htm file is change and sent via ftp the webbot on my
page will not reconize it and update it's content.

The only way I can update it is to open mypage.htm file in
Frontpage 2003 click F5 and save the file. Then resend it
up to the server via FTP (cannot of course use FrontPage
as I turned off extensions).

I have done a lot of reading on Microsoft's website it
states that include page does not need extensions running
to work.

I would appreciate any thoughts you may have on this.

Thanks,

Mike

Use Server Side Includes (SSI) or a server side script (PHP or
Perl/CGI) to "build" the page on the server using the component
sections then deliver it to the browser.
The SSI solution requires that the included page is not a complete
HTML page - only the content that would be between <body> and </body>
and nothing else.
The server must support scripting or SSI.

Oh well it was a nice thought.

Let me ask this then. Is there anyway to grab the text
from one page and display it on another page in real time?
