Server Side Includes

alittle · August 28th, 2005, 11:32 PM

I use server side includes for my sidebar. When I use



in the cgi file for my site search (in other words the script outputs HTML results and I want it to match the rest of my site) it just comes up blank, instead of including the file. Is there a different way youre supposed to call the file since its being used in cgi?

Hope this makes senese. Thanks.

This is just a guess, but try fully qualifying the path to your include file. It could be that it can't find it since it's actually being run from cgi. Try replacing "side.html" with "www.mydomain/path-to/side.html".

It's worth a try.

< !--include virtual="side.html" -->

Nope none of those work. I've tried it all. I think it has something to do with it being a cgi file.
