Yep, I'm an ASP developer and we have a few servers here of which a couple
are running multiple languages.  They work fine.

As I said, the problem isn't getting IIS/Apache/whatever running, it's the
fact that the filename's extension is what the web server uses to decide
where to parse the file.  So unfortunately Mark (the original poster) is out
of luck in doing what he wants, without some fiddling with his web server
anyway.

Edit: just saw your next post..

Yup, that article describes SSI incudes which are actually slightly
different to how ASP includes are processed, but not worth getting into.

.Net is great - you'll love it.  I've converted a number of our apps over
already and while it was a bit of a step up to start with, has many
advantages.  If you're getting into ASP.Net, V2.0 is out shortly and has a
couple of great enhancements.

Good luck!

Andrew

Hi Andrew:

Your problem is not with getting the <!--#include file="MyFile.txt" -->
statement working but with getting ASP working?

My web server is a Windows2000 advanced server. When I installed it along
with the IIS web server I guess the system automatically installed ASP and
configured it appropriately...it is a MS product after all. Since then I
have also installed PHP, JSP, Perl and CFM; and yes they have to be setup
(pointed towards their parser) or the system will not recognize the inline
symbols. Do you have a server at your disposal?... Some languages can be
setup to run on any station..i.e. I have Perl running on my W98 box...DOS on
steroids. You can also run an Apache server on a station with only 256MB of
RAM, a friend did all his coding work there. Not that I would recommend it.

My forte is in PHP, JavaScript, CSS and trying to learn .Net; Drew Wutka is
the list expert in ASP and would be the ideal person to answer your specific
questions. I have not seen his name popup on the site for a week so I
suspect he is on holidays. (away from the computer) He can be reached
through the DBA site as he is on the board of directors. See:

 Hi Jim,

Yep, wasn't getting at the having the web server running, but getting the
correct dll to parse the asp section of the file.

Are you saying that if you specify an <include> directive in a .html page,
and the included file contains ASP code (such as the time.incl file you
used), that it knows to send that code to the asp parser simply because of
the <%%> tags?

I can't see how that would work without configuring your web-server to send
*.incl files to the asp engine, but I'll give it a try.

AFAIK, the <% %> tags are only recognised by the ASP parser, from *within* a
.asp page.  (ie. An extension configured to be parsed to the asp parser)
This allows the coder to escape his asp code from HTML code.

The w3 example is a different type of include than Mark was requiring.  ASP
includes are not parsed by the same way SSI includes are.

Cheers,
Andrew

Sorry Andrew:

I did not specific that IIS or an Apache server had to be up and running but
that is a manditory item with all Server side web languages and felt it was
not necessary to stated the obvious. ...and yes you can use all kinds
extensions because the include extension is not what the parcer uses to
determine the handling of the include's contents but '<%' and '%>' symbols
are.

 I doubt that will work Jim as you haven't specified to send the processing
of the file to the asp parser.

Only way that would work would be to associate the .incl extension with the
asp parser (in IIS).

The w3 example illustrates including files *from* an asp file.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Mark:

>Can you insert ASP code into an HTML page that does not have the .asp 
>extension?

In a word, "yes". Below is a very simple example.

Given a file named "time.incl" that looks like:

<%
Response.Write(Time)
%>

...then; call the file from a web page:

<html>
<body>
<h3>The time is: <!--#include file="time.incl"--></h3> </body> </html>

Now that was easy.

See more about it at http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_incfiles.asp

Quick question...

Can you insert ASP code into an HTML page that does not have the .asp
extension?

I have a requirement in our corporate intranet to maintain our pages using
server-side-includes.  This means that all pages have a .stm extension.  How
can I insert the following snippet (many thanks to Drew) into my pages?  It
works perfectly in my "Test.asp" page but hasn't yet worked on a .stm page.
Any suggestions?

Mark

*** BEGIN CODE ***
<%
strPageName="Test.asp"
dim cnn
dim rs
dim strSQL
dim strPageName
dim strIP_Address
strIP_Address=request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
set cnn=server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
set rs=server.createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
cnn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
cnn.Open "\\NNSI1\Corp\PROJECTS\E13\WebLog\Statistics.mdb"
strSQL="SELECT tblHitCounter.PageName, tblHitCounter.IP_Address FROM
tblHitCounter;"
rs.Open strSQL,cnn,1,3
rs.AddNew

rs.close
set rs=nothing
cnn.close

*** END CODE ***
