hello... This is the webpage I am building: http://www.wgbd.org/discipuladohoy/index.html

To add the menu on the right side, I am using the the following code:

so i do not have to change the menu on Every Single Page whenever I add to it.

It works great in my computer, when I view it in Int. Explorer, on Windows XP

Netscape doesn't show the Include at all. :/

I tried using the command, but even with .asp and .shtml extensions, could'nt get that to work at all, in either broswer.

I do not use PHP. The person who owns this site doesn't want to use javascipt, because not everyone has it enabled.

How can I do this? Is it just something I'm doing wrong? Can someone look at my page and test somethings and give me some absolutes that will work in Netscape and IE?

if so... Thank you!

tags are not considered SSI. Does your host say they have SSI enabled? If so, the tags should work.

the SSI will only work on your PC if you have a server running, like IIS (or whatever windows uses)

The good thing with javascript is the tag, meaning if they don't have javascript on them whatever is between those tags displays. (PHP is the best thou Wink )

You mentioned you tried it with a .asp extention. Does this mean you can use ASP? If so, I'm sure they have to have something similar to PHP's include() funtion to include another file.

Thanks to all... I have this hammered out and working. BIG thanks to the fellow who mentioned that I needed to run the pages off an actual server that was compatible ... Laughing out loud
