Abandoning frames ... now pbs with SSI

CSS Newbie

Hi,
Yesterday I was taught here that frames were really really evil so I now I
am trying to kick the habit.
I am trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle using SSI but I'm going to need
some support.

At http://www.fransysco.net/casajac/testinclude.shtml I have a page which
basically is just this :

<html>
<head>
<title stuff
<META stuff ...

<link rel="stylesheet" href="includes/iasj.css" type="text/css">

</head>
<body>





</body>
</html>

Pb is that my "gite.htm" is placing itself on top of my "accueil_left.htm" .

Maybe I should I be placing each ssi directive within a separate <div> ?
and getting those divs to place each page ??

TIA

That page has about three complete "pages" in it. Complete sets of
<html><head><body> elements. It would surprise me if it would work in
any browser.

Your include files cannot be complete pages.

SSI isn't magic. Cut and paste the included files into one
document and see what that file looks like and whether it
validates. If and when it does, you can cut and save the parts
you want to have in include file.

All that SSI does is insert the text of a file in a document so
that the to the client the document looks as if the document had
always contained text of the file.

Doesn't work either ...

sure it does

put the include inside a div, then style the div so it is absolutely
positioned, sized, and bordered, where and how you want it.

OK. Thanks lads.

I've moved the entry page to here :
http://www.fransysco.net/casajac/inc...tinclude.shtml

I think I've made some progress ..... but I have a pb now with my menu on
the left :
Click on a menu item and the new page doesn't load.

Can some one figure out what's not working ?

TIA
