Server Side Includes (SSI)

Whichever Web site production tool you use, you’ll almost certainly need to change the suffix at the end of the Web page’s name before things will work. This should normally be .shtml instead of .html, as that is the standard SSI convention used for Apache-based Web servers. However, if you’re forced to use servers running Microsoft IIS you’ll have to use .asp instead. Dreamweaver users should rename an existing page’s filename in the Finder - be sure to close the document first. In Freeway, click in a blank area to deselect everything, and use the Inspector palette to change that page’s filename suffix. Now when the server handles this file it knows to look inside for special instructions.
