Server Side Include with Contribute 3

[janetzag]

An earlier thread about Server Side Include said to use <!-- #include
virtual=... in place of <!-- #include file=...

But I am confused if the include file neds to have a .dwt. And, if so, since
it is an incomplete page (no HTML tags), what is the exact set up to make it
work?

If no .dwt is needed for the include file, then should the <!--
InstanceBeginEditable name=... tags be around the reference to the include on
the HTML page or in the include file? I have tried it both ways and have had no
luck. I have used the virtual reference and still can't get the region to be
editable.

Can someone tell me the proper form for this?

Thanks. Exhausted from trying many variables!

Answering my own question.
I researched this complete forum and with taking ideas from different posts, I
was able to figure this out. I thought I would post it for anyone else needing
to know the answer in one place:

Include tags must read:
<!--#include virtual="includes/fileName.html"-->
(Include file is NOT a real HTML doc -- no tags in file except for CSS, as it
would be used if not using Contribute.)

No reference to .dwt needed nor Template created.
No Edit instance tags needed anywhere.

Contribute user navigates to page:
[Upper right corner] Click Choose...
[In my structure] User opens includes folder (double clicks)
User selects THE file (clicks OK)
User clicks on Edit Page button

(Text is now editable.)
User edits text.
User clicks on Publish button.

Worked for me several times trying.
