No you do not need a head/body tags, but then again it really depends on what the included file does.
Example: this is an index.cfm file INDEX.CFM ------------------------------------------ <cfinclude template="header.cfm"> This is the index.cfm<BR> <cfinclude template="test.cfm"> HEADER.CFM ------------------------------------------ <HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY> This is the header.cfm </BODY></HTML> TEST.CFM ------------------------------------------ This is the test.cfm<BR> You will notice in this case my header.cfm file has the required tags not the index.cfm or Test.cfm -----Original Message----- From: Pete [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 6:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Including a file Hi All Just a really quick question - if I have a main program and I include another file should I have the head and body tags in the included program ?
