Here we go with dynamic includes again...

Here's a [ http://forums.webwiz.net/search.asp?KW=dynamic+include&SM=1&SI=PT&FM=9&OB=1 - search ] to help you out.

In short, the includes are processed prior to other script so in theory it is impossible to make them dynamic. However, there are ways "around" it.

Sorry, may be I'm confusing everyone here.
Actually, I'm not talking about editing this forum.
So, the file is actually not in the "includes" folder.

I was just wonder how would I write the coding. Something like these? (this page is not in the includes folder)

If idCategory="1" then

end if

If idCatgory="2" then

end if

You are not trying to edit the forums, but then you say you want to do that? Now I'm confused, so do you want or do you not want to edit the forums and make your (If Cat...) change?

Any way, if you want to make the change, the file you want to edit is default.asp in your root.

Your approach will not work, search these forums for dynamic includes and read a bit about it to find out why.

The files I'm trying to modify is actually from another asp software.
Sorry for the confusing.

May be I don't exactly know what I'm talking about.. but this is want I want to achieve. See how every category has different header? that is what I want.

Right, so it's on another application you are working on?

As it was said before you can't just:

If someCondition Then
SSInclude this
ElseIf otherCondition Then
SSInclude that
End If

Well you can, if the 2 includes don't conflict with each other, but it's bad doing so anyway, I find the best way to do this, if they are small includes, is to use XML. In the XML file you'll have your code, then you need to read each line of XML into an ASP array, then discharge the array with (Response.Write aspArr(i)) inside your If conditions accordingly.

Nice one xeerex, loop through it 1 mil times, maybe he will do it.

I read a lot of article.. most of them said it is not possilble to do dynamic includes, but I can try to do server.execute, then I went on and read more about it.. I even found some example from http://asp-hosting.ca/faq/How-to-use-Server.Execute-method-in-ASP.htm - http://asp-hosting.ca/faq/How-to-use-Server.Execute-method-i n-ASP.htm & http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q224363/ - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q224363/ .. and And, when ever I try to excute the page it always says
HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found

I have windows 2000 server with SII 5.0. Can anyone tell me what can possilible go wrong?

Looks like your include is putting full html head and foot tags in the pafe. If do a view source. You can only have 1 set of head, body tags. If you're going to include content on the execute.asp from the other asp pages based up0on an if statement, just include the content portions of a page, the head and foot tags are already taken care of by execute.asp.
Your form action is on another site. It has to be on your site. Use the form to get the relevant drop-down info, and the form handler specified by the form action should then craft the url and use Server.XMLHTTP to do a get/post to the other site.
