Okay, so I’m at a temporary office and they’ve given me a machine with XP to do dev on. Awesome.

I’ve set the site up in IIS and I need it to serve shtml files.

Problem is, when I browse to the shtml file, the browser tries to download the file, rather than display it properly.

I’ve tried a few things that I’ve found on other site to no avail, and now I’m just getting frustrated.

Any help?!?!

    are you serving it with the correct mime type?

    shtml simply use the text/html mime type but your IIS might not be configured to match that file extension with that mime type

    See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725608(WS.10).aspx for details on adding mime types (you didn’t specify the version of IIS… those docs are for IIS 7)
