includes - HTML / CSS

Helpful person

I have written my web site using Microsoft FrontPage and have decided
to rewrite it in strict xhtml. I am very excited about how easy this
seems to be, how clean the code is and the versatility of the
language, I have one question at present.

I have found out how to use includes using



My question: Is the code inserted exactly as in the include file in
the place where the include is requested or are there some surprises?

OK, I've had a look now. That web page is vile, throw it away and
start again.

The markup is an unholy mess of M$oft namespaces, abused XML, 3.2
presentational markup and the usual garbage we associate with M$oft
Orifice output. I didn't actually know FrontPlague was this bad! I
thought only Word made markup _quite_ this bogus.

It also looks terrible. Text blocks overlapping each other all over
the place. I presume it's due to M$oft's usual garbage of absolute-
positioned CSS with pixel dimensions.

Do yourself a favour: get a copy of "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML"
and a simple text editor. When you've read that, start on Lie & Bos'
"Cascading Style Sheets". Keep reading the newsgroups.

Let me keep some light of hope.
The page you linked to is still supposed to be in its FrontPage tag soup
form (September 4 2007).
Right?

It's not the "clean XHTML code". Okay?

PS: This page gave me ideas that I could use if ever there's an "HTML
obfuscation contest".
And these ideas could apply to valid, non-conforming, HTML code.

FrontPage creates very verbose and unreadable (to me) code. To make
things worse it's probably easier to learn html xhtml than FrontPage
with all it's bugs and ommissions.

You are right, and I'm very glad to see you've figured it out for
yourself.

I keep saying this, but no-one believes me because they think I don't
understand newbies.

Very true, but you do understand that HTML and XHTML are two different
things, don't you?

I do all my pages in HTML 4.01. I do them manually in Wordpad, and the
HTML just seems to flow out of my fingertips and into my keyboard. So I
can't help you with XHMTL.

However, I do use SSIs. I just now determined that your server is
indeed Apache, which does support SSIs.

I suggest that the files you wish to include not have .html or .htm at
the end (file extensions). Then, Apache will not try to serve them as
Web pages if they are requested by mistake.

The Web page that contains the 
declaration needs to be executable for Apache to perform the SSI
operation.

Apache will take the cited file and insert it as if you had manually
inserted it before uploading the Web page to the Web server. A user
will not be able to determine that this has happened except that the
time-stamp on the Web page will equal the time at which Apache served
it, not the time when it was uploaded to the server or when it was last
modified.

Yes. However, I see no reason not to write strict XHTML (especially
as I am starting from scratch) as this will probably (eventually) be
the standard to replace HTML.

If you can't appreciate the very real problems in using it, then you
really need to do some more research before you dive in.

Unexpected behavior in STL "includes" algorithm
