Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Server Side Includes not rendering correctly in Firefox with Layers

Hi
The server side includes are not correctly rendering with layers in firefox. From my site here:-
http://www.osteriastecca.com/index.php
the home_page.php content renders above a layer on the index.php page. Initially I thought this might be a Flash layer issue but the wmode is set correctly to transparent and it works fine with a normal ssi. It also works fine in Firefox without a server side include as you can see here:-
http://www.osteriastecca.com/index_old.php
Works fine in IE and Safari, but not Firefox.
How can this be rectified?

Server-side includes not rendering

Hi, I'm on CS5.5 (Windows operating environemnt). The server-side includes are not rendering in Live view now, whereas they were previously. Is this some sort of configuration issue, if so can you help me fix it.

Server-side includes not showing in new DW CS5.5. Any suggestions?

I have used DW for years and years and have never had any problems. I just installed CS5.5 and am not seeing my php includes in the design pane. I've searched the forums but have not found a working answer.
I'm editing files I've edited in CS5 and earlier with no problem.
I've checked the server-side includes box in the configuration but no change occurs.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Server Side Include not functioning the same across website

digitaldealershipsystem.com

** this is the navigation pulldown.
This works on most of the main pages
When you go to
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live.html
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live2.html
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live3.html
The same is included but does not work on Chrome, but does work on Firefox
To restate, the naming is the same on all web pages, and it works on Chrome -- except for these "live" pages
On Firefox, they work on all pages, included live pages
For testing purposes on the following page, I tried 'virtual' file and that did not change the results in either browser
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live4.html
My thoughts:
If there is a conflict on the page, then why only is Chrome being effected
Any ideas?

If clearing the cache does not help, then check your code validation - you have several errors. Server side includes are browser independant - because they are assembled on the server, not the client. If there's a difference in rendering between browsers, it has to do with your html/css and has nothing to do with SSI.

Server-side includes not working

Running CF9.x on Apache 2.2 Win 7.
I inherited an older html multiple page site that we are breaking down into includes using html server-side includes:
e.g. , and saving the page as a .html file, which is then <cfincluded> in a .cfm file.
Is there a way to get  include working on a CF page? All I see is the contents of the page, but none of the sidebar.html, or header.html, etc.
I know I could switch to cfincludes, but the boss LOVES to muck around with the html side of things.
TIA,
Doug

I know I could switch to cfincludes, but the boss LOVES to muck around with the html side of things.
All the more reason to do it, surely?
But anyway...
I've never used a server-side include, but it looks to me that they just load the file and return it at that position in the document.
For CF code to be executed, the file needs to be REQUESTED, so it won't be a starter with server-side includes.

Site not displaying correctly in DW Design View

This is a weird display problem on one of my sites that I
have not seen before.
I sometimes log into my server remotely and make changes to
the html manually then resave the files. Later I may download the
newly edited files and put them in my backup site folder on my
local machine.
On one particular site, everything looks fine online from my
server, but when looking at the files locally in DW Design view
everything is out of whack. The images are all over the place and
the backgrounds are completely missing. If I preview the it still
looks normal and all the images are in the correct place and
backgrounds are fine. Only displays wrong in DW Design View which
makes it impossible to use the WYSIWYG to edit this site now.
Anyone encountered anything like this?

You are editing the files directly on the server, and not
from a local site?
And which DW are you using?

Server side includes not visible on apache

Hi when i upload an HTML file with includes on an apache server the includes are not visible. I used the "virtual" parameter. on a windows server it works, also local works everything great. i also tested with PM "file" didn't work. can someone help me out? Thnx

>Hi when i upload an HTML file with includeson an apache server the includes are not visible.
The includes are not visible, but is the include code visible in the source code? That will tell whether the server is parsing for includes. By default, the server is probably set not to parse .html files for includes. Read the link that SnakEyez suggested, but also be aware that you can configure your server to parse .htm(l) for includes.

Preview and Generate view not displaying the same as design view

RoboHelp HTML Ver 8.0.2.208.
Hi all,
I have a topic that will not generate or preview what is displayed in the design view.
The topic is a table that uses a different image as the background for each cell (from the CSS).
The background images display fine in design view but will not display when previewed or generated. Everything else is displayed but not the backgrounds.
Any ideas.
Thanks
Wowronin

You have this -
</head>
<script>

</script>
<style type="text/css">
#preloader {
     position: absolute;
     top: 0;
     left: 0;
     right: 0;
     bottom: 0;
     background-color: #fefefe;
     z-index: 99;
    height: 100%;
#status {
     width: 200px;
     height: 200px;
     position: absolute;
     left: 50%;
     top: 50%;
     background-image: url(ajax-loader.gif);
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
     background-position: center;
     margin: -100px 0 0 -100px;
</style>
<body>
In other words, you have a script block AND a CSS block between </head> and <body>. That's invalid code. Move it to where it belongs inside the <head> region. You could have found this in an instant by checking the page here - http://validator.w3.org.

Display Server Side Include at top of scrollable Div

Hello,
In this topic, I will be referring to the following containers on my page:
DIV A: Contains the content of the page; this div has overflow set to scroll.
DIV B: Contains the links
DIV A contains 3 different server side includes, each with a different ID. Using the Show/Hide Element, I have set it so that when a link in Div B is clicked, the appropriate server side include is displayed in DIV A, and the other two server side includes are set to hide.
The only problem is that when their appropriate links are clicked, SSI 2 and SSI 3 do not appear at the top of DIV A, but at the position they would be if all SSIs were set to show, so the user has to scroll to see SSI and SS 2.
Do you folks know of any way to have the SSI display at the top of DIV A?
It occurred to me that instead of using Show/Hide behavior, I may need to somehow include an SSI only when a DIV B link is clicked, and when a different DIV B link is clicked, that SSI is stripped form the page and the appropriate SSI is included.Is that even possible?
Does this make sense to all of you?
Thanks,
Mike

Without seeing your code, it could be how you are positioning these elements on your page. If you plan on showing/hiding layers you will need to position these layers to show in the same spot every time by setting the position of DIV A to relative and the position of the 3 layers inside to absolute with a top and left value set to 0.

Displaying server-side include in DW8

Sorry if this has been asked before? I did search and
couldn't find it (this site is painfully slow and searching is
worse)
I am trying to figure out how to make DW8 show my server-side
include files in the design view. My site uses SSI for all headers
and footers, so every page has at least 2 SSI's. They show up as
the SSI mark on the page, but not the code or graphical
representation of what is in the SSI. I need to have that code
snipet show up in my design view. The only way I have been able to
figure out how to do it, is to reinsert the SSI again from the
menu, and then delete it. Doing it that way, the original ssi that
is listed on the page will display graphicly in the design view.
I do have the option in the preferences - Invisible Elements
- Server-Side includes: and the check box is checked / enabled.
If I could, while I'm here, one other question. I have DW
code rewriting turned on, and it shows me each time I open a file,
what corrections it has made. But if I save the file, and then open
it again, it shows me the exact same corrections being done again.
Is there a trick to make DW8 save the corrections it automatically
makes to the files?
many thanks in advance.

> I know that there were major changes between 4 and 8.
One of which was tightening the tolerance for bad code. CS3
is very strict
about displaying proper code.
However, your fragments below look OK.

Server side include does not appear in browser

I've imbedded a server side include within an html file. I
can see it in the Dreamweaver design previewer, but it does not
appear when displaying the html in a browser. I've tried saving the
included file as "html", "htm", "shtml", and "shtm". Nothing seems
to work.
Any guesses?

On apache, you have to use either shtm(l), or PHP. And in the
event that
you use the latter, the include directives must be PHP
includes, not HTML
includes, e.g., this -
<?php require('includes/foo.php') ?>
not this -

Server side includes: outdated and not supported by host?

I've been using SSI's for ages with no problem from any host. Recently I signed up with a new web hosting company, one of the more established ones in the Seattle area. They do not support SSI's and claim that using them is not safe and is not a modern approach to web design. They suggested I use a more advanced programming language to create my sites, such as ASP.NET (something I have no desire to do).
Are server side includes outdated and no longer the way to do things? I find that hard to believe.
-Jesse

Are server side includes outdated and no longer the way to do things? I find that hard to believe.
That language is from Microsoft who seem to think so along with Windows based hosting providers offering ASP.NET.
IIS no longer comes with SSI installed by default. It has to be configured by the hosting provider.
http://blogs.iis.net/robert_mcmurray/archive/2010/12/28/iis-notes-on-server-side-includes- ssi-syntax-kb-203064-revisited.aspx
However, classic SSIs (in the sense of including static content from one page inside another) are still one of the most powerful, safe and flexible tools for managing repetitive page elements in any web page. Not to mention easy.
ASP.NET has its own way of doing the equivalent of SSIs - and lots more beside but much of which does not interest web designers at this stage.

Server Side Includes Don't Show Up?

I support a web site and I've been maintaining it with DW (previous to CS3 and now I'm using CS3) and except for the home page, whenever I test a page locally on my PC, the content of the includes don't show up in the browser. Once I upload them to the web site, they work fine. I should point out that the home page is the only page in the root directory. All the other pages are in a next level folder. At the time I designed the web site, I thought this would help me organize things, but I regret doing it. This has happened with the previous version and with CS3.
Anyway, it's what I'm stuck with. I've set up my local site without server access. Given my situation, is there anyway to get the includes to work on my PC when I test the pages within DW?

To summarize: I press F12 to start a browsing session and that page is displayed properly with server side includes. While in that browsing session, I click on a link to another page, and that second page in the browsing session does not disply the server side includes. When these pages are uploaded to the server, they work properly
If you open one of the inner pages, and hit F12 can you see the includes on that page,, or on any of the other inner pages when you browse to them individually? I bet you can :-)
It's only when you try and go from the temp file to a properly name file that it doesn't work. There was a technote explaining this much better than Ican, but I just can't find it now.
If you want to see the pages work as if they were on the server, that is going from page to page by clicking on individual links, you really need to set up a testing server on your machine.

Contribute changing relative path for server-side include

I am using Contribute CS3, version 4.1, and my pages crash
every time a send a draft for review, because Contribute is
rewriting a relative URL in a server-side include.
The server-side include (before I send for review) reads:

After I edit other portions of the page and send the draft
for review, it reads:

Which results in the draft being unreadable.
Is there any way to tell Contribute not to monkey with this
URL? I have hunted, read the forums, checked the knowledge base,
and coming up empy.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!! I really
appreciate it!
-Nicholas

Answering my own question.
I researched this complete forum and with taking ideas from
different posts, I was able to figure this out. I thought I would
post it for anyone else needing to know the answer in one place:
Include tags must read:

(Include file is NOT a real HTML doc -- no tags in file
except for CSS, as it would be used if not using Contribute.)
No reference to .dwt needed nor Template created.
No Edit instance tags needed anywhere.
Contribute user navigates to page:
[Upper right corner] Click Choose...
[In my structure] User opens includes folder (double clicks)
User selects THE file (clicks OK)
User clicks on Edit Page button
(Text is now editable.)
User edits text.
User clicks on Publish button.
Worked for me several times trying.
