I need to include an .asp file into another .asp at runtime, but I need to do it based either on data returned from a dB or from the querystring. Since Server Side Includes happen before any script code is processed I can't accomplish this task using SSIs. At least not that I'm aware of.
The intent is to get a custom style sheet and/or theme design template based on who the user is or which site their visiting e.g. site1.domain.com has a default template of clouds and site2.domain.com has a default template of water, but both may be set by the user to their template choice.
I want to add a include file from the original folder level from the "inc" folder. The file of where the include will be used is located within the folder named Layer3 folder.
How do I add in the include referencing the file. Do i just use".."
For every folder level i want to go up to gain access to the file? Do i just continue to add ".."?
My web designer created my site with a header include or something to that effect. My question is this: How do I change each page title to what I would like for SEO purposes? When I put the desired title onto each page, my includes/header.asp file "overwrites" the desired title; thus, every static page has the same title. Creating separate include files would work but would take forever. I have even tried leaving the title tag blank in the includes.asp file and add the desired title to each static page, but the title tag doesn't end up in the <head>, just the <body> tag.
I've a big include asp file with a lot of function and subs, some of them with a long html code embebed, in this intranet and I'm not sure if I should break it in a several include files in order to improve the performance.
My question is:
leave it as it is because all that code runs into memory only once , say at log in, or break it in several others, in order to access the code that really is to be accessed.
I have a table that I am using as a main skeleton for all my pages to use. The problems is that I want other pages to be inserted into a specific cell.
I have a skeleton.asp with 2 rows and 2 columns. I will create pages like company.asp which will have just text in them and they will use the include tag and include the skeleton.asp.
The problem is that I want the text only page to be inserted into the lower right cell on the table in the skeleton.asp. I have seen it done many times but I cannot remember what the tag was that you put in the cell to put the include contents there.
I have a page that uses includes.It has 1 include to bring in a header, 1 for the menu, and then there is a content area.
This content area I need to change.So, for example, the link would be index.asp page=aPage.asp and it would load my page that page witht the header and menu and for the content area include aPage.asp.
What is the script I can do this with. I tried simply using Response.Write and then just righting the <! #include --> tag with the right page in there, but it just writes that without parsing it and including that page.
I have an include, which is used as the header of my site, that has a bit of CSS coding in it. The CSS code along with an unordered list creates an expandable menu. The include works great when you view it at its URL, but the menu doesn't expand when a person has to access dynamic pages.
I have found out that the problem is that when the file is included the code is not inside the <head> tags, so thus the menu doesn't perform, or expand. Is there any snippet of code that could automatically put the CSS inside the <head> tags?
I have made my asp pages but the left side navigation menu I want to be an include so if I ever change a link it's easy to update them all by changing the nav.asp file. How can I include the nav.asp file on the other asp sites like adminpanel.asp .
Can someone comment on the use of SSIs? Do these place a lot of strain on the server? Also, are "virtual" includes or "file" include directives more efficient?
I am writing a mail order site using includes and nested includes for ASP code. I have no idea if this is rendered without error in all browsers. Does anyone have any idea on this? Code:
I have a main file (asp), from which I include 2 different asp files. The second included asp file references an array element deefined and populated in the first include asp file. However, the array value is not being resolved in the second include.
This is not on a Windows server, but rather a UNIX server. However, the host provider claims ASP and SSI support.
saddled with using an <IFRAME> area on a classic asp page from the designer, so I'm trying to find out the following.
on that page I usually use the <IFRAME> to hold a simple HTML page, that the client will have access to from my CMS program so they can make edits, updates etc.
but, one page has a search functionality, written in classic ASP and using MS-Access dbase to find members of the association etc.
when I put the asp search page inside the <IFRAME> src , it wont show? ie -- <iframe src="findlawyer.asp" frameborder="No" width="756" height="427" id="iFrame" vspace="10">
-- should mean that the page findlawyer.asp should show up inside the holding ASP page (called simply find.asp)
why? when I look at the findlawyer.asp page online it shows up perfectly and works perfectly too....yet inside the <IFRAME> it refuses to show up???
Is there any way to dynamically generate an include file based on a variable passed to the asp page via a url ?- so for example:
Person x clicks on a url - that ur directs them to template.asp (template.asp has no code in it other than page title etc and <!--#include file="<%variable%>" --> )
Once in template.asp the page loads the include file that is relevant to the companies website that the link was clicked from.
In that include file will be the correct form and stylesheet setting for that company.
What we are trying to do is achieve a global template file which multiple customers can direct peo[ple through and all the data is therefore stored in one central repository.
The file displayed when they reach template.asp will depend on the url they clicked. Basically how can i get the url to pass the variable which the include file will then load??
I have an index page (home.asp) that calls several includes to create the whole page (ie side.asp, top.asp, body.asp). If I externally refer to stylesheets in my homepage, they don't seem to transition into my includes. I can put a <head> on each of my includes and put the internal CSS there. This works, but doesn't seem right, and looks funny in source code seeing multiple <head> tags.
recommend a good tutorial for intermediate CSS? I read Yahoo's source code and I don't understand a lot of what they're doing there... I feel like I'm just a few steps behind understanding that.
I am currently working on a template that will be replicated over 200 sites or so. The first of these have been interesting. I'm trying to work out the best ways to replicate these sites and need help with a left sidebar containing links to the first 40 sites. Go to carpetbid.com or spabid.com. I tried doing an include over multiple sites but have read a lot about it and see that this doesn't work.What should I do?
I'm trying to create some includes with vars from the query string, but it's not going well. Lets say i get some vars from the url ['lang' and 'page'], sanitise them, and then try to use them in the include. I've tried all sorts . Code:
Is there a way to include a large list (.html page) in a table and force a scrollbar instead of resizing the cell to fit the entire list? I'm wondering because I have a navbar on the left that links to different parts of the list (months), and I would like it to stay on the screen, even when scrolling down near the bottom.
I have a menu I want to include on every page but may update at a later stage so it's easier to use an include. The menu is just a basic html table, no vbscript contained within it. The site is a mixture of static page and ASPs, should I use #include file ="menu.htm" or #include file="menu.asp"?
Also if I have a .htm page, can it have an #include file="menu.htm" or must I give that page a .asp extension?
I'm creating a site which will have the home page at the root level, but all of the sub pages in sub directories:
root/ -homepage.asp -subdirectory/ subpage.asp -images/ logo.gif -includes/ header.asp Each page of the site will have the include <!--#include virtual="/includes/header.asp" -->
header.asp is a table with our company logo, logo.gif. The problem I'm having is that subpage.asp does not display logo.gif because the path in the include is only correct at the root level.
I don't want to create multiple includes. Is there another way to make this work that I'm missing? Thanks!
I'm running into a problem with VBSCRIPT classes in ASP. I use a seperate file for each class I use. Some of these class files are included in multiple ASP scripts, but are also included in other include files. So if you can't see the problem already, it is that occasionally the class file will be included twice in the same script, relsulting in the following error:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0411'
Name redefined
/includes/classes/closableobjectlist.asp, line 2
Class ClosableObjectList ------^
Does anyone know a clean solution for this problem?
I have web pages that are made up of a number of javascript include files as well as 'in page' script. They all work fine running locally until I hosted them on our IIS server. Then the pages refuse to see nested javascript calls. e.g.
Main page contains JS code to call a function to one of the include files (- no probs), which in turn wants to call a function in one of the other JS include files but falls over with 'object expected' error in the line of that call - I assume because it can't fine the function.
I think it may be something to do with processing order but as these files are almost identical to another site that I created (certainly the JS include files are and that worked 100%),
The use of includes in ASP is good where code is re-used in multiple forms,etc. (doh, ... that's what they _are_ for ! ). If I have something like: Code:
The book I am referring to learn ASP states the following about server- side includes:
============================================== The code in a server-side include file is inserted into the pages that use it BEFORE the page's ASP code is evaluated. This means that you can put ASP code inside the include file, and it will be executed like it was part of the page that includes it. On the other hand, it means that you cannot use ASP to determine which page to include. ==============================================
But as opposed to the last line in the above para, the following code makes use of ASP to determine which page to include: Code:
I have a web page, that is part of a content management system i am writing, it includes a large number of scripts and displays one of these scripts according to the contents of the querystring (the design is done this way so scripts can be used across different websites that i manage on a dedicated server)
the problem is that this design is not very scalable and no matter how well i write my code to make it as concise as possible the main page will start getting slower and slower. The answer I initialy thought was some sort of dynamic include but i realise that that is impossible. So what are my options? I have heard of coms and dlls but know very little about them is this the way to go?
I am troubleshooting a web site (not written by me) and may of the pages use server side includes. This one page includes a page that return includes the page the included it.
The site is quite slow and when I first found this I thought that this was the primary cause of it. Then I thought this page shouldn't work at all because it would create an infinite loop and should just recursively call the pages and eventually consumme all server resources and database connections.
However it doesn't appear to act that way and the page does display and there is no endless calls to the SQL statements in the two pages. Is there something that prevents recursive calling when using SSIs?
