Default converting library items to SSI on ASP site

Hi, I am in the process of converting Dreamweaver library items to
server side includes (SSI) on a website made up of ASP files. The
pages I am modifying are Dreamweaver templates.

The process I am using is simply changing the file extension from lbi
to asp and adding an "inc_" prefix. So a file named "rm_investors.lbi"
becomes "inc_rm_investors.asp"

The results are partially succesfull but I'm noticing that some of the
transparent spacer graphics in the converted "include" files are not
displaying correctly, and links in some files aren't working. Should I
be converting the extension to .inc or .shtml? Or is there a line of
code that I need to add at the top of each include file?

Regards,
Rob.

Default Re: converting library items to SSI on ASP site

OK, no need to respond. I've since solved the problem. It was to do
with Site Root-relative as opposed to Document-relative links in the
include files (taking out the ".." from the addresses), and also
replacing "virtual" with "file" in the main reference line in the
templates.

Still curious about the diff between .shtml and .inc extensions though
if anyone wants to explain.

Cheers,
Rob.
