Problem with include files!

Hello,

I am new to ASP and am trying to make some changes to some ASP 3.0 code
I have inherited.

I have a number of ASP pages with VBS as the base language, on each of
these pages I have successfully included a piece of VBS code that
produces output in a table cell by using:

<!--#include file="showAnswe rs.inc" -->

I have added a new page to the site where the base language is
JavaScript. If I try to use the same include line there it doesn't work
as it correctly detects that the code in the include file is written in
VBScript not JavaScript.

So I tried...

<Script language="VBScr ipt" src="showAnswer s.inc" </Script>

The page runs in the browser without error but the code in the include
file isn't included so I don't get the output I expect.

So i try...
<Script language="VBScr ipt" src="showAnswer s.inc" RUNAT="server"> </Script>

The include now works but the output of the included code appears at the
top of the output, not in the table cell where I want it.

I have no idea how to resolve this. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Jules

Well, didn't mean to start a mini post war guys.
I guess my personal preference is that I don't find it useful and I guess I
am not a perfy enough programmer to really give a crap either way...

It's friday and I am going to the bar to see how much beer I can drink!

Why do you snear when you are corrected? Bad day, Anthony?


Yeah I kinda snapped seeing yet another 'correction' from of something
which
really doesn't need correcting.
Many mistakes are a result of the misconseption, that ASP-"pages" exist.


Such as?

>> since in a vbs-asp file the JS-runats are executed first anyway.

As well? I don't think so, I like to have my simple function definitions
at the bottom out of the way, as I treat them as reusable black boxes.

It is a personal preference, which I would advocate as useful.


Fair enough.

Isn't advising not to do what is impossible to do anyway a bit strange?


Not when the original poster is clearly not sure what is and isn't
impossible.

The include directive doesn't care about the language. IMO it would be
rather that you have to put inside your include file a runat="server" script
tag that explicitely tells that you are using VBScript... (my understanding
is that "it doesn't work as it correctly detects" means it's not running
fine as the VB Script is thought to be JavaScript code).

They have, but that does not mean his pedantry is unwelcome. In this case,
the distinction between "file" (personally, I would have said "script") and
"page" is the very essence of the issue. The <script runat="server"> tag
will *never* appear in the output, or page.

The only entity I can see that I refered to as a 'page' is the ASP 'file'.
Honestly why is that a problem?

I don't understand the importance of the differentiation either. It
seems to me that "asp file" and "asp page" are used interchangeably to
mean the same thing, even by Microsoft:

but I would be interested to know why this is an issue.
