SSI Help Needed

[Emperor]

Hi guys,

I tried this but nothing happens:

text.htm

<p>SSI Text</p>

testpage.htm

...
...
<!--#include virtual="text.htm" -->
...
...

I have a virtual hosting account. Maybe I have to set something in the .htaccess file? Does the text.htm file have to have certain file attributes? What should I try to get it to work?

Thanks.

You need to give testpage the extension .shtml

testpage.shtml

Or you can parse .html files for SSI. See Setting up SSI to inject text and html code [webmasterworld.com]

Some servers implement the so-called "x-bit hack". In this case, SSI is enabled on a per-file basis by setting the execute bit for the file.

I don't know how many servers implement this, but it seems the perfect solution to the problem.
