Including files...

I think this can be done but I don't know how. I know how to link style sheets and was wondering if it would be the same principle.

What it is, is that I have a site that has the one menu bar built into it on the left hand side. This is built into a table. I was wondering if I could copy and paste that table into a separate file THEN include this file into each page via a link of some type.

Is this possible? And if so, coz someone kindly show me some code or post a link etc.

Cheers,

ih.

Since you are asking in the ASP forum I'll assume you are using APS pages. ASP pages support Server Side Includes to a limited degree but that support does include the part where you can copy files into your pages:

<!--#include file="yourfilenamegoeshere"--> for files in the current directory or some descendant directory and <!--#include virtual="pathandfilenamehere"--> for globally used files that aren't in the same directory structure (this also assumes the option to allow such references is enabled).

save your menu table into the seperate file and use

<!--#include file="menu_table.htm"--> for each pages you want to show menu table

also you can use "include virtual" instead of "include file"


if all of your file in same dir , just use include file

;)

This is also supported by SHTML, ASP isn't necessary for this as many servers support SHTML includes. (But the syntax is the same! YAY!)
