I couldn't figure out how to make Dreamweaver MX to apply the same highlighting styles to inc. files, but I probably didn't try hard enough.
Some things to note though: If you name your files with a # in front of them, people can still execute them by using the hexadecimal equivalent of #: http://www.mysite.com/includes/#cftest.cfm Becomes: http://www.mysite.com/includes/%23cftest.cfm A good way to protect your files is to use application.cfm. Make a directory for includes, called, well, "includes". Name your files with whatever scheme you want. You could use inc_myfile.cfm, but since this directory would only hold includes, it seems kind of redundant to do that. Create an application.cfm file in this directory and just redirect to the home page of the site, or whatever page you want. This way, there is no chance of anyone calling your includes manually. Your application will just be including files from this directory and not executing the application.cfm, so it won't screw up any other app settings you might have in place. --Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Howie Hamlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 6:42 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Dreamweaver MX Question > > > But, someone can probably download your include files (if they > know the name).
