Hi there,

I know in principal dynamic server side includes aren't possible in ASP, because of the way ASP parses pages, but I also heard that there's a workaround for this. Note that my include-pages are ASP pages themselves and I know this complicates things a bit.

I tried it with the following code:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;%
Select Case pickFile
Case 1:
&lt;!--#include file="/includes/index.asp"--%gt;
Case 2:
&lt;!--#include file="/includes/products.asp"--%gt;
Case 3:
&lt;!--#include file="/includes/articles.asp"--%gt;
End Select
%&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

The parameters are be passed on by the navigation menu. The problem is it doesn't return any page. Where the content should come, it stays blank. Anyone familiar with dynamic SSI?

Your problem is that each of your includes load before the decision to choose one (from your case statement) is processed. You will need to have an intermediate page that decides which include is to be loaded.

I'm afraid that bakerv is mistaken...

here is the problem with your code...

you need to put the include statement OUTSIDE the code blocks...the include staement must be called from the basic HTML like so:

&lt;% Select Case pickFile
Case "1" %&gt;
&lt;!--#include file="/includes/index.asp"--&gt;
&lt;% Case "2" %&gt;
&lt;!--#include file="/includes/products.asp"--&gt;
&lt;% Case "3" %&gt;
&lt;!--#include file="/includes/articles.asp"--&gt;
&lt;%End Select %&gt;

That should work so long as pickFile is being populated with a value somewhere along the line...
