Spry Widget as a Server Side Include

Question

I am new to using SSI. I guess one question is: does the
include have to be saved as a .shtm or .shtml file? I am trying to
take a Spry Navigation bar and use it as an include in a site I am
building. I have saved it as a .html file and a .shtml file, but
neither is working. It shows up in design view, but not preview in
browser view. Here is the code of the SSI:
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<div>
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="
http://www.j-boysentertainment.com">Home</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Projects</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="../pamperzpro.html">Pamperz
Pro</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu"
href="#">Creative Team</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Jeff Reed</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">John
Elliott</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Jack Kelly</a></li>
<li><a href="#">J. Skylar
Testa</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Jonathan
Perkins</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Connect</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1",
{imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif",
imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
//-->
</script>
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong? Also, when I insert it
as a SSI, does it matter if it is a file or a virtual?

Answer 1

Create a page that contains ONLY this -
<p>woohoo</p>
and save it as woohoo.monkeybutt.
Then create another page, click in the Design view, and
insert a server-side
include. Browse to and select woohoo.monkeybutt.
Save this new page as "page.shtml".
Preview it in the browser (with temp files enabled in your
PREFERENCES).
'nuff said?
