How to save a file as *.shtml correctly

[Jerome]

Hi,

When I safe index.html as index.shtml and upload it to my yahoo account it is safed as index.shtml.txt.

However, the server-side includes are working, but I can not rename the file index.shtml

Why is that, how do other people do this, what am I doing wrong?

The site is on an apache server and I have no control over the htaccess file

Thanks
Jerome

Probably because windows likes to add .txt to everything. :mad:

Next time you save the file locally, instead of typing:

myfile.shtml

put quotes around it:

"myfile.shtml"

That usually overides this windows "feature".

Hi bcarl314,

Indeed between quotes gives a real *.shtml file, only it's not accepted at my account?!?

The list off supported mime-types from my account shows:
text/html htm html shtm shtml hhc hhk

The server-side include in the *.shtml file is just:
<!--#include file="test.htm"-->

When I save a *.html file as *.shtml, without using quotes, I can upload it, but then it's changed to *.shtml.txt. Then www.widgetdesign.com doesn't work, however without www it's working, I am flabbergasted......

I thought SSI was easy!

Thanks for Your time,
Jerome
