This is not exactly CCS but I know that there are a lot of ASP experts out
there.
I'm passing a variable via a URL to an ASP script
(http://domain.com?variable=somevalue)
I then do:
<% session("filename") = request("variable") &".htm" %>
What I want to do is an a server side include:
<!-- #include file = variable -->
but I cannot get the correct syntaxt to make it work.
Can somebody tell me what the syntax is?
TIA.

Assuming you are using VBScript with your ASP, then you have run into the
problem where the variables scope doesn't exist. I would suggest creating
the include to be a function where you can then pass the request variable as
a parameter.

No, no VBScript. I'm not a VBScript programmer and just know a little ASP
(very little). I can do this in Cold Fusion, but wanted to do it in ASP
instead.
Thanks.

Then what scripting language are you using? (You have several choices for
ASP pages, VBScript being just one).

Sorry Shawn. Yes, it's VBScript. What I meant is that I'm not a VBScript
person, hence my question. I can just do this in Cold Fusion but I figured
I'd keep this page in ASP.
Cold Fusion (assuming the file name is the parameter:
<cfif IsDefined("URL.parm")>
<cfinclude template="#URL.parm#">
</cfif>
That's fairly straight forward. So I tried this in ASP (again assuming parm=
the filename):
<!-- #include file="<%=request("parm")%>" --> then I tried
<!-- #include file=<%=request("parm")%> -->
I tried several flavors of this but no go. Not know VBscript, I don't know
where the problem is. I would not be surprised if it's something real dumb
that I'm missing here.
I have found a work around but I don't really like it. It's working by
using if / else if statements. But then I have to change the code if I add
a page.
Thanks again.

Since ASP is not interpreted until run-time, the Include directive takes the
code in the include and generates it alongside the other code (this can be
html or ASP/VBScript code). Since I don't use CF I'm not sure but by
looking at your example it is a little different in this regard. What I
would do is Include the function like you have (w/o the parm though), then
in your ASP page, get the parameter and place it into a variable and then
pass taht to the function. I think this will do what you are wanting to do.

I'll see if I can do that Shawn.
Thanks again.
