What are include pages? Include pages are .htm pages inside of
.htm pages. The benefit of using include pages is that where ever you
have an include page, you will be able to change one page and update
several pages at once. For example: If your template has a drop down
menu all you need to do is open the nav_top.htm and make your changes.
When you click "save" it will make the changes on every page the drop
down menu was included in.
The good thing about include pages is they are
100% search engine readable.
Because our templates were created in FrontPage, our include pages
are only useable in FrontPage and Expression Web. If you are using
Dreamweaver, you can still use include pages, however you must re-enter
the include pages as SSI (server side includes). Your help file and
tutorials will help you do this.
Changing the Include Pages in FrontPage:
FrontPage includes are extremely easy and are also extremely powerful
tools...
First: To edit an include page. You simply open the include page
(to find out what the name of the .htm file is, double click on the
include page and it will tell you what the file is). Open the .htm
file and make the changes you want to make. Click save and you are
done.
Second: To ADD include pages. Put your cursor in the area you
wish to include the page. Click "Insert - Web Component - Page" and
browse to the correct page. Click Ok.. You are done.
Changing the Include Pages in Expression Web:
Although all current include pages are 100% functioning and can still
be edited and updated with ease. Adding an include page in a non-DWT
template is a slightly different process. To learn this process click
