I am trying to upgrade my webpage so that I will only have to change the Navigation bar once and it will change all of the pages. I was told to use SSI. The server my husband has runs microsoft (IIS, I think). 1)I was told it needed to be "mapped" how do you "map it". I can't find any step to step directions and 2) what extention do I use? I tried a test with .asp and that did not work. I don't know if I am suppose to use .asp, .stm, .shtml or .ssi. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,

create your menubar in a new document and call it something like menubar.asp (make sure you get rid of any <head> and <body> codes, just plain code.

Then in a new asp page reference the include like this:

Thanks for the response. I am not sure if I phrased the question correctly. What you suggested is still not working. I read that I need to enable the server and that it needs to be configured through the "mapping" section. Where do I find the mapping section and what steps do I take to configure it? They also said something about "parsed" but I don't know what that means either. The page shows up saying that it is unknown or not found and to contact the system administrator.
Thanks!
