You do not need to use any scripting language to get includes....

i've
never heard of that.

includes are a special command usually given by a scripting language, ASP
or
PHP or Javascript, etc. That command literally means "go to /whatever/
directory and "insert" in the code of that called file into this one."

*throws the ball back into Murrays court*

No, but you can not call to includes using just plain HTML. Unless the filename
is ".shtml" right?

Also, Murray why do you have this bit of code within the midwestexpresso web
site's code? Is it some kind of fix for IE5?

<!--[if gte IE 5]>
<style>
#menu a {height: 1px; }
</style>
<![endif] -->

No - you can use any filename extension you want, including my personal
favorite, "monkeybutt"! All you have to do is to persuade your host to
enable server parsing for all files on the site with that extension. Some
will do this, and some will not.

However, to speak generally, I'd agree that you need to use ".shtm" as a
file extension in the target page so that the server will be prompted into
action to parse out and insert the proper includes (which can have any file
name at all without special provision).

!--[if gte IE 5]

#menu a {height: 1px; }
/style
![endif] --

It's to force IE5 into properly using display:block on the menu links.

well i sent a response yesterday and i don't see it here, so don't know what
happened to it. ok here goes again...

SSI sound very helpful...is that something you do within dreamweaver? if not,
what do you use for it? and more importantly, do you have to be a programmer to
understand how to do it? i only have very basic knowledge of the programs i am
using and even more basic knowledge of html. just enough to get into trouble,
lol. i normally don't mess with the html, but sometimes i get a component from
somewhere that needs to be inserted in the html....so i've learned enough to be
able to do that. and sometimes i notice the formatting is screwy, probably
because of using pagemill before and it won't let me change some simple things
like deleting space between paragraphs or putting a caption on a table (or
removing them, as the case may be, since pagemill uses captions and dreamweaver
does not...i have been having to go into the code to get rid of the darn
captions as i add tables to pages that already had captioned tables...because i
want consistancy and i don't want to have to go into the code every time just
to make a table title be right next to the border of the table...so i just put
them into the top row now.) so i've had to do a little tweaking here and there
to get rid of unnecessary code that was screwing up formatting. but that's
about all i do.

anyway, if server side includes could be of help to me, i'd love to learn
about how to use them...if i'm capable of doing so, with my novice knowledge
and ability.

LOL! Murray... that joke is getting rather stale. I know you can do this, but
is it practical? No. The only time you should do this is if you have several
thousand files with some outdated (or unrecognised) file extension.

Mike:

I know. I just couldn't resist.
