attaching a dynamic web template to a dynamic web template

[Dan V.]

How do I with dynamic web templates (dwt) have a footer and header on each
page in my site AND use other more complex dwt's in my website that have
this same footer and header. Don't I have to attach a dwt to a dwt?

FP2003 doesn't support nested DWTs. To use the same header
and footer in serveral DWTs, each DWT would need to use
Include Page components or SSIs.

Thank you Jim.

The - Insert | Web component | Included Content | Page -option worked great.
What do you mean by SSI?

 

[Jim Buyens]

An SSI is a Server-Side Include. Youcode it as an HTML comment like
this:

<!-- #include file="lib/adovbs.inc" -->

where lib/adovbs.inc is the relative path and file name of the file
you want to include.
