About LinkBacksHi everybody,
I just have a quick general question, and searching the forums hasn't given me a clear answer. Can x10hosting handle server side includes in HTML? If anyone could answer this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Lydia

Are you talking about php includes? Yes of course they have those here.
There is no such thing as a "stupid question," there are only "stupid people" who don't ask them.

Hi as4s1n,
No, I'm not talking about PHP includes; I'm talking about this type:
<!-- #include virtual="myFile.html" -->
Thanks,

Yes, ASP works on this host but it's a tricky setup. I don't want to bother with it so I just use PHP but you will have to look around to find it.

Thanks again,
If the setup is that tough, I'll have to give it some more thought. Thanks for the info, though.

I don't know whether it's hard per se, it's just more work than I really wanted to do.

That's SHTML, not ASP.

Isn't it both? Cuz the little I know about ASP is includes

Server side includes were introduced by NCSA HTTPd sometime before 1997, the precursor to Apache's httpd. Actually, considering Apache has supported SSI since at least 1996, NCSA HTTPd must have had it before that. IIS includes support for SSI, but ASP is an entirely separate technology.
@lydia09: It'd be odd for a server not to support SSI. Remember, you can always try something to see if it works.

Hi Lydia-Originally Posted by lydia09
I'm just trying SSIs today for the first time myself, and I discovered that the secret is to give all the files which contain includes an extension that begins with "S", e.g. .shtm, .shtml, etc.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes
"In order for a web server to recognize an SSI-enabled HTML file and therefore carry out these instructions, either the filename should end with a special extension, by default .shtml, .stm, .shtm, or, if the server is configured to allow this, set the execution bit of the file."
Have fun!
