  Newbie to asp, needs help with menus and server side includes Reply Contact hi, I am just getting my head around creating a new school web site, using asp for the first time. I've got a header.asp, menu.asp, content.asp and footer.asp. Brought together in a index page using server side incudes to bring it all together. My question is, can I use an asp menu that changes which content.asp is pulled in, so there is different content pages without changing the other elements on the page? Is it possible? Do anyone know of any examples? or am going about this all wrong? Thank you for any suggestions. Steve Audus www.chaucer.sheffield.sch.uk

  Re: Newbie to asp, needs help with menus and server side includes Reply Contact I'm not a dev guy, but if your code in menu.asp, etc is pulling variables/setting per site or app basic, I don't see why you can't include it and reuse for other app/site. Take note that www.asp.net really talk about asp.net not asp. also you can utilize master page, menu control etc inside asp.net. Cheers, Bernard Cheah

  Re: Newbie to asp, needs help with menus and server side includes Reply Contact Classic ASP does not have a menu control or framework that you're looking for as I am aware of.  ASP is old technology and was replaced by ASP.NET - which has everything you're looking for.  The dev environment is even free ...
