My include isn't working.. can I only have one include per page? I've tried changing the file type from .inc, to .htm in a hope of maybe making it work. Is it the Table data tags that are breaking it?<br />
<br />
Here's my include:<br />
<td valign=top align=center><form name="nav"> <!-- #include file="dropdown.htm" --> </td><br />
<br />
And here's the text in it:<br />
dropdown.htm<br />
<font face=arial size=-1 color=black><B>Browse the Site:</B> <select name=choose onchange="navigate()"><br />
<option selected>Make Selection below..</option><br />
<option>History</option><br />
<option>Activities</option><br />
<option>Administration</option><br />
</select><br />
<br />
<br />
I view my source and it IS including the text.. but it just doesn't show up in the browser at all. I can't understand why it's not working.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now this include works (it shows up in the browser:<br />
<!-- #include file="footer.inc"--><br />
<br />
here's the text in the include:<br />
<br />
<p><table align=center border=0 width=95%><tr><td align=center><a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"../../"><img src="images/cclogo.gif" border=0 alt="homepage"><BR>Homepage</a></td><td align=center><a href="default.htm"><img src="images/img002.gif" border=0 alt="homepage"><br>Office Homepage</a></td></tr></table><br />
