Including Files
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
If you're duplicating code in your ASP pages, you're doing more work than you have to. A part of the ASP engine is the ability to include files into other files. You have two methods for doing this. The first includes a file using a relative path to the current file. Here's an example:
<!--#include file="adovbs.inc" -->
This directive will include the adovbs.inc file from the same directory as the page where the directive is. If you're using a directory structure of any sort, you're going to need to specify a root directory, such as /includes. To do this, you need a slightly different variation of the directive:
<!--#include virtual="/includes/adovbs.inc" -->
The first version does not allow you to include a root directory, but you can use subdirectories, such as includes/adovbs.inc. If you need to point to a virtual root directory, use the virtual keyword.
