Just an idea that poped my mind, thought i'd finish up this long never ending discussion once & for all.

well, the alograthem goes like this....


<%
suppose myfilename="somefile.asp"
create a new file in "temp/file_to_include.asp"
writeline "<!-- include file=""/includes/" & myfilename & """ -- >"
%>
<!-- include file="temp/file_to_include.asp" -->

shud this work ???

No it won't work, otherwise the dynamic include problem would be solved.

Includes are exectued BEFORE any ASP scripts, which means that ASP will response.write all the includes too late - includes would have already been loaded

Actually it works, but you would get the last include generated included on the file, not the most current one.

it will do it if you reload the page after the include file is written..

but you can't use the same file for all users, as all users would then get the same include, and what is then the reason for using dynamic includes? you coul duse unique user IDs in the filenames, but then you will need dynamic includes to include the file with the dynamic included file, which means you would get an infinite loop of your script

I'm quite sure there will never be a good solution for this problem in ASP, unless someone writes a component for it, but that may not be a good solution either

the creation of a file/ and then the reloading of the page (using Response.REdirect) will hardly take 2 seconds, of if you elongate it.. say 5 seconds.... which site will have enuf traffic in wich more tha 1 guy is visiting his page at the rate of users/second ?? I can't think of any one....

so that's not a point

if you take for example this forum, forum_posts.asp, don't you think it has more than one execution per second?

Face it, if your site takes too long to load visitors just won't bother. And we are talking seconds too long so an extra 2 seconds is worse than you think
