Using SSI with IIS

[Marcia]

What is the equivalent of Server Side Includes with IIS? Is something like that available, like with Apache servers?

[IanTurner]

You need to use a #include file reference. The page needs to be .asp or another extension which is processed server side in order for it to work.

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="order_confirmation_code.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="menu.htm"-->

You could also use server.transfer or server.execute which is a little less server intensive. Only available with IIS5+ though.

Marcia, to add to Ian's comment, you'll need to enable it first if you're using .htm or .html extensions. Xoc explains how here:
