I am attempting to include a header in my html file.
<!--#include virtual="/header.shtml" –>
This is not being read by the browser. The file works fine when I go to it alone. It works fine when I had it in the header (not through an include file).
Do some servers not allow this kind of include?
That include instruction is for ASP pages, and unless the page is names *.asp it will not work
Try renaming the file to .asp, if this doesn’t work then your webhost doesn’t support ASP or virtual includes.
