Beginning Active Server Pages - Including Files

James Crowley

Including Files

If you want to include another ASP or HTML page in another ASP page, you can use the Include tag. Note that this is a HTML tag rather than an ASP command, but the ASP processor still interprets it. To include a file, use

<!--#include file="myfolder/path.asp"-->

Note that this must be included in a HTML section of your ASP page rather than VB code. Also bear in mind that you can't conditionally include code. For example,

<% If bItem Then %>
    <!--#include file="myfolder/path.asp"-->
<% Else %>
    <!--#include file="myfolder/path2.asp"-->
<% End If %>

Won't work as you think it should - both files will be included. If you wish to use virtual paths rather than relative ones, use

<!--#include virtual="/myfolder/path.asp"-->

instead.

    Are you running IIS ? And are you viewing it in your browser via the correct URL? (ie something starting with http:// rather than file:// ) ?

    It does - you just can't see it ;) We've got an ISAPI filter that rewritse /show/1010/ to something like /show.aspx?id=1010

    Is there something special I have to do besides saving it as a .asp file, or does it just not work on my server? It just spits out the code, even HTML, as plain text.
