Including header file using HTML

[chili5]

I make my pages in Firefox and if they display well in that, I think that they should display fairly well in IE.

but yeah PHP is a lot easier than ASP.NET and ASP.

Unfortunately, I don't always share your success. I write some brilliant pages, then days making it display properly in IE.

[chili5]

But I was wrong, pages that display well in Firefox, don't display the greatest in IE most of the time.

IE frustrates me so much, when I ran this code in Firefox, it worked but in IE, all it said was error on page:

function yesMailing() {
document.getElementById("mailing").innerHTML = "<p>Were glad you subscribed to our mailing list, would you mind telling us, what you like about our mailing list? Also any comments are appreciated.</p><p><textarea name=\"mailComments\"></textarea></p>";
}

IE is so frustrating cause I end up spending days getting everything to work in it.

Do you know how to do something like this using JavaScript?

PHP Code:

<?php include("test.php"); ?>

[Xav]

No - remember, JS is run on the browser, not the server. You can only send text to the browser, as in document.write().

[chili5]

But couldn't you use JavaScript to load a page into a <div> at the top of the page?

Yeah i guess your right, i guess you can't do this.

[DevilsCharm]

Unfortunately you cannot. Too bad!

[Xav]

Although you could use frames, then adjust the page's href. Or use AJAX, which is sort of JS.

[chili5]

I guess you would have to use frames to do this without server code which is kind of pointless.

Just curious, if somebody comes across your header.php which your including, what do you usually do? like you probably don't want them to see header.php? would you redirect them to the home page if they came across header.php?

just curious?

[Xav]

Yeah, I haven't thought about that! Is header.php indexed by Google?

[chili5]

I imagine it would be, because it is on the web server so the search engines would probably find the file eventually.

Might not be that good if the user comes across header.php.

PHP Code:

<?php
if ((basename("header.php") == "header.php")) {
$i = 1;
header("Location: index.php");
} else {
echo "Hi!";
}
?>

maybe something like this to fix it? not tested though.
