iv never heard of shtml.
iv heard of dhtml and html etc but not that b4 :-( looks like i learn somthing new everyday:D Mick
shtml has been out for a few years but least i forget most of the member have not be laid yet so thier we go. if you apache for your website shtml is where you use it. its more like a server doc then a regular html so we go thats shtml
forgot anyone knowing about shtml want to add something about that.
I was actually just thinking about shtml'ing my pages since I don't know php.
shtml is handy when you need to add the same information to a lot of pages, like a menu or a disclaimer. you would put the html code that is on all of your pages into a file, say, called "menu.txt". Then, in your regular html page where you want the menu to go you would put in: CODE <!--#include file="menu.txt" --> Then be sure to save your page with an .shtml extension. with shtml, much like with .css you can change a bunch of pages just by editing one file.
I use SSI on all of my web pages. SSI replaces frames and is much better. SSI can only be used of .shtml pages. If you have frames on your site I strongly suggest that you switch to SSI and .shtml.

It is great and I do this as I am not very familiar with PHP or asp. Googlue! Latest Entries
I use shtml to generate random facts on my front page. To do this:
1. Create a cgi-bin directory 2. Create a facts.txt file in the cgi-bin directory and put facts in there: 1 fact per line 3. Create a file named facts.cgi in notepad 4. In facts.cgi, copy and paste the following code: CODE #!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; my $quote; open(QUOTES, "facts.txt") or die "Oops! Can't find quote file: $!"; srand; rand($.) < 1 && ($quote = $_) while <QUOTES>; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print $quote; 5. Where ever you want the random fact to appear, copy and paste the following code to your page: CODE <!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/facts.cgi"--> Change "cgi-bin/facts.cgi" (w/o quotes) to where ever you stored your facts.cgi file 6. Upload your cgi-bin directory to your web space 7. Chmod facts.cgi to 755 8. Remember to name the web page file that will display the random fact as blah.shtml where blah is any name you wish. shtml extension should stay. Good luck! Btw, should I have made that a separate topic/tutorial? If you admins think so, can you please move it for me? Thanks! QUOTE(googlue @ Oct 13 2004, 03:27 PM) There is no need for any special formatting at all. Simply change the file extension from .html or .htm to .shtml or .shtm! Then it will accept all the shtml formats... That's easy isn't it? Googlue! Supported. You follow exactly what googlue eplained to you. That will help you i guess.
