Hi,

I'm wanting to implement a quick and easy way of updating many files on my web site. The site is hosted on a server running NT. and I understand that SSI works only with apache servers, so is there an alternative to SSI for NT servers, that I can learn quickly.

Thanks.....
 
FYI, SSI is a feature of IIS 4.0 which comes with Option Pack 4 for NT 4.0.

IIS like many other Web servers has a feature called server-side include (SSI) which automatically inserts the contents of a Web page in place of special HTML tags, saving disk space and greatly easing the administrative burden of managing a Web site.

As the implementation of SSI varies from platform to platform, IIS 4.0 only supports the include command. The command is normally followed by the file parameter, e.g., <!--#include file=&quot;logo.htm&quot;-->. (all lowercase.) If logo.htm contained your company's logo, then that would be displayed where the #include line is set.

If you have NT server, you'll have to install IIS 4.0 if you want to use SSI in NT environment.

Hope this points you in the right direction.
