cant get #include to work in .asp file. - ASP / Active Server Pages

Greg

I'm new to html and web coding, this is a simple one -
appreciate your help!

I'm attempting to get my browser bar links to reside in a
single .asp file to avoid multiple additions to pages
when I add a page to the site. I've done a lot of
reading and surfing, believe I know how to do it, but
can't get it to work.

I've installed IIS on my machine running XP pro, and have
created two .asp files, one called default.asp, the other
navigation.asp

both pages browse OK separately, but the navigation page
text does not appear within the default page at all (like
it's not getting "called" - here's the cut down code.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>

<body>
<% %>

This is the default page (filename default.asp)

<!- #include file="navigatio n.asp"->

</body>
</html>

-----------------

<html>
<head>
<title></title>

</head>
<body>
<% %>
This is the browser page (filename navigation.asp)

</body>
</html>
------------------
Thanks for your assistance

Hi Greg,

Includes are done as:



Notice it's two dashes on either end, not one.

Also, if you are going to use this include for navigation, you may want to
do a virtual include as such:



Doing a virtual include with the leading / will make it so that include is
always looked for from the root of your site. So, whether you have an asp
page in the root of your site, in a subdirectory, or in a directory 15
levels down, it you won't have to change your include directive in any of
them. If you do a file include, you'd wind up with an include like:



if you were a bunch of directories down.

Remember that the include file is literally pulled out and plunked in your
page. So you won't need all those html tags.
