ssi commands in DW

ja4ck · ja4ck

:confused; I'm a newbee trying to take over a Web site that just sort of grew
over the years with sucession of developers. First, it works! Second, while
I've been programming many years, I am brand new to web site development. I'm
trying to use DW to do the maintenance and later development. Currently it
uses nested SSI #includes and and #if, #else, #endif commands. The index.shtml
page includes "/templates/header.shtml" which contains only ssi commands. The
commands do an #if on something I haven't figured out yet to determine which
file to #inclued. Nothing happens in DW. Further when I bring up
"/templates/header.shtml" in DW, the #if, #else, #endif are greyed out as
comments and both includes are executed. Someone please help!

The first thing you should do is to spend a month coming up to speed with
HTML and CSS. Do this before you touch ANYTHING.

Your description is a bit confusing. Can you post the entire code of the
head region of one of these pages?

It may also be useful to see the markup within some of these include files.

Sounds like he is working with PHP and javascript, but I could be wrong.

:confused; Thanks for the prompt respose. Well sure, that's what I'm doing.
My (current) problem is with DW. Why does it not respond to the SSI in the
same way as the web site?
The beginning of the "index.shtml" file is below.



<p align="center">
<font face="Impact" size="7">October</font></p>

The complete "/templates/header.shtml" file is below











As stated last message the #if, #else, and #endif lines are greyed out in DW
code view as if they were comments. The #includes are highlighted is the usual
various colors. When I load this file in DW, BOTH includes are executed. The
beginning of "/templates/header-regular.shtml" is below

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>
<head>

If I change the include in "index.shtml" to load
"/templates/header-regular.shtml", I get the expect page.
All of this in DW. From what I've read (I didn't start today), this looks
like standard SSI to me.
If you would like to see the working site, go to [url]www.pptu.org[/url].

Thanks,
Jack

:brokenheart;:HI, I sent sent the code you requested. I hope it was sufficient. I'm trying to evaluate DW and do need to know if it supports the full SSI.

Sorry, Jack. Yes, it does. But it's not a DW issue. It's just HTML, you
know?

Perhaps my previous post was misleading.

Those server directives will only get executed when the page is served, not
in DW's Design view - is that what you are asking?

:light;Yes, that is exactly what I was asking. To me, it is disapointing that
a WYSIWYG application that does not support SSI (beyond inlcude) or hover or
links and who knows what else. But it seems to be the best there is. It would
seam that some eager beaver would run with this. Anyway that''s what it is and
I'll live with it. I installed a local Apache server which I can use to test
things out, but why not include Apache behavoir in DW.
Thanks for the info
Good by and good luck.
