Using SSI in Frontpage

[SteveHu]

What steps do I take to replace my Include pages (as headers and footers) for
an SSI solution? This is in case I go to a provider without FP extensions.

I have Apache. Server is Unix.

Thanks!

You don't have to move from the Include component. It's actually not part of
the FP Server Extension. The Include component is what's known as a
design-time component. That means it's only updated with the FP Client. For
example, when you change one of your included pages and use the Tools |
Recalculate Hyperlinks to refresh all the pages that use that include. FP
will take the included HTML and place it directly into all the pages that
need it, unlike an SSI which is a runtime substitution.

If you do go to a server without the FrontPage Extensions and you stay on an
Apache server see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html for SSI
information.

Does Expression Web have a similar component that allows me to create headers
and footers? I ask because I understand that MS wants to be more
standards-compliant and won't be using some of the FP components.

Thanks!

Yes it supports the FP Include pages or has DWTs and Master Pages

A SSI is a "server side include." While FP uses a web-bot component to make
it "feel" like an SSI its not actually an SSI. Off the top of my head I can
see at least two ways to setup a SSI. One is to use ASP code with a page
ext of ASP. The other way uses another include command but the page must
have an extension of .shtm or it won't work.....

Hope this helps.
