Hi All,

I want to include page.htm in a td of page.shtml. I have managed to get the code which is : 

I have entered this code in the td of page.shtml, where i want the contents of page.htm to appear.

Both the files are in the same folder and I have also uploaded the files in the server. But the problem is its not working.

Can anyone plz help me out.

Firstly, it would need to be like this :

Code:

<!--#include virtual="page.htm" -->

Secondly - be careful. One mistake that a lot of people make when they first try to do this is include a complete html page in the .shtml page - doctype and everything. All you should be including is some html (maybe of your footer/menu) - no doc-type, no <html> tags, no meta tags and no <body> tags - just the html that you want to include. (maybe this isn't your problem, but I've seen it happen so many times I really think it's worth stressing for anyone reading this).

I hope this helps.

It doesn't NEED to be VIRTUAL, I believe you only need VIRTUAL when you are relatively pointing to a file in a sub directory of the server.

Can you point us to a URL?

Fair enough. I used to use SSI and I remembered that when i tried it with 'file=""' it didn't work for me, but 'virtual' did... I guess that was just me.
