Put a variable in the  directive

09-05-2003

Dear All,

The following script is generated by frontpage itself in order to insert
menu.htm in the current .htm page:

<body>
:

:
</body>

I tried to change the "menu.htm" to a variable using asp like:

<%
menu=request("menu")
%>


But it doesn't work, I search from the net and explain it will not work
because the directive executes before asp assigns a value to the variable,
but there is no solution, can anyone help? Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Baffin

This only runs at "design time" within the FrontPage Evironment. The
file included is already inserted into the position before the file is
uploaded to the server. The server has no part in the process.

I am not completely sure (we drove a stake through the heart of FP here
years ago) but I think that FP actually processes the webbot directives when
an HTML file is uploaded through FP, not at runtime. If that is not the
case, you could write out the HMTL file with the webbot directives you need
and then re-direct to that file.
