I want to use seperate .ASP files to produce output in multiple parts of my pages so that I can change the code remotely and it'll update on all pages. I use the format:

<!--#include file="includes/filename.asp"-->

Sure enough when you view the page in a browser, filename.asp's output is shown. However, when I goto view the page in UltraDEV, the include comment tag TAGS (in highlite yellow) many tags in the document (ie, the same thing that happens to the </b> tag if you remove the <b> tag; it get's highlited to tell you that it's a broken tag)

The website itself is then broken up very bad in the UltraDEV development window to a point where I can't mess with developing it anyfurther. Removing the include fixes the UltraDEV window look. Any fixes/workarounds?

nm, fixed it.

UltraDEV would rather have you place your SUBS in 1 include and just use CALL Subname in the ASP file to reference that include.

Can you give us a bit more on the Sub / call Sub?
Have these probs myself and would like to know how you sorted it.
I was under the impression that if you use an include in a seperate directory, you had to call it using a :
<!-- #include virtual=........-->
instead of
<!-- #include file=........-->

Well, what I was doing was that, everytime I wanted dynamic content there, I would place the following code:

<!--#include file="includes/file.asp"-->

And then later on in the page where i wanted different dynamic data, I'd place:

<!--#include file="includes/file2.asp"-->

Well, when you save it and preview it in browser, it works fine; the dynamic includes from each file are where they show up; however, when you go back to design view, your page layout is destroyed.

So the way around it was to place all the dynamic coding you want into 1 file and include that under the language directive set (&lt;% @LANGUAGE = VBSCRIPT %&gt<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Inside the 1 include are subs like:

Sub Alpha
'alpha code
End Sub

Sub Beta
'beta code
End Sub

.....

So where I wanted dynamic data from the include file, I just placed the code:

&lt;% Call Sub Alpha %&gt;

or

&lt;% Call Sub Beta %&gt;

(You can substitute &lt;% Call Alpha %&gt; but I like placing the keyword SUB there to show people that you're calling a function there)

And boom, the dynamic data showed up where it was called, and the page structure was not ruined in UltraDEV
