Include file in asp

TheLaughingBandit · #1 (**permalink**) 09-19-03, 11:01 AM

i want to add a variable into the include file tags.
something like this even though this doesnt work

so if strID = abc
abc.asp would be included


or if anyone knows a better way to display the code from an external file, like abc.asp into a text area.

<textarea rows="10" cols="50">

</textarea>

If you want to add a variable in an include you would have to use the following:

<% Server.Execute(strID) %>

The reason is includes are executed before the asp code, so you wont be able to use in variables for the include name.
