Sure- it includes ASP (as a matter of fact), conversions, new monsters, another website, a turning point (and natural extension) for the Creature Catalog, etc.....

Um... Wandering monster tables as web services?

(Sounds good, whatever it turns out to be!)

But it gets even easier. ASP itself implements the SSI include directive. So rather than going through all of that, just do this:

Code:

[COLOR=silver]<html> <body> <p>This is the text in the text file:</p>  </body> </html>[/COLOR]

Right- just did that with some test pages to make sure it would read them. So far, so good.

So- ASP may be the way to go. Ignore the coding, it might be sloppy 'cause I am still learning ASP as we speak.

Nope- but that is an interesting idea though.

One other tip. You're probably aware of this, but I throw it out anyway. Most dynamic-page approaches, in my experience, actually invert the examples above. That is, instead of a page with all of the navigation, etc., that includes the news "hunk", there is a news page that includes the navigation. Generally along the lines of:

Code:

[COLOR=silver]<!--#include virtual="header.inc"-->

News or other page body goes here.

<!--#include virtual="footer.inc"-->[/COLOR]

No, can't help it... have to comment!

The Paragraph HTML element <P>'s end tag is optional as defined in HTML 4.01.

There, got that off my chest... back to your usual viewing...

(Oh, and I can't wait to see what you've got lined up for the new site, obvisouly)

Well what do you know, it works in Netscape 4.7, Well I'm happy

Krish- yeppers. I don't have NS 4.7, but I did test it in NS (6.2 or whatever)...so I know it works in the latest version of NS anyway.

As the site is slowly migrated over to ASP, it should all work in NS without a hitch (well, I say that, but nothing in the PC field is without a hitch).
