#include

[Arc]

Hi, How come my INCLUDE statements are just rpinting on the page as text instead of actually including the file?

<--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="topnav.htm"-->
<--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="sidenav.htm"-->

it just prints that as text. I have it in an aspx file.

Example code.

<%@ Page CodeBehind="specialeventinfo.aspx.vb" Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="OptimaBackEndTest.specialeventinfo" %>
<--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="topnav.htm"-->
<--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="sidenav.htm"-->
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function Validate(){ //v2.0
if(document.form.txtEventTitle.value == "" || document.form.txtFeatureText.value == ""){
alert("All fields must be filled in.");
}
}
 
function MoveVars() { //v2.0
var title = document.form.txtEventTitle.value; 
var info = document.form.txtEventInfo.value; 
document.form2.PreTitle.value =title;
document.form2.PreInfo.value  =info;
}
//-->
</script>
<td valign="top">
    <table width="549" height="97" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="2">
        <tr>

thanks!

thats intersting hells, but it doesn't solve my problem. Should not my includes work?

[hellswraith]

I have no idea if they are supported in aspx files...
But your syntax seems to be wrong:
You have:
<--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="topnav.htm"-->

I think it should be:
<!-- #include virtual="topnav.htm"-->
