I caught the comment from I think Richard. 'Does it matter that this is making use of code within comments'
You might actually be a little confused. This is a comment <!-- Something in here --> Note the '!'. In the code for a SSI, there is not '!'. In other words. This is not a comment. <-- #include file="test.html" --> And as for the other comments about standards and all. It really does not matter. As another Paul state the includes are put together on the server way before the HTML ever reaches the client (browser). And sure if you have errors in you include you will break validation but then again if you used a single file as opposed to include and an had an error you would see the same thing. Once again in other words the us of SSI does not and will not cause validation problems. P- --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Paul, > > I don't entirely agree that the SSI is irrelevant to standards.
