SSI with javacript - syntax problem.

[Paul]

HI! I am trying to dynamically add content into Div tags with the use of
JavaScript. it loads the page but adds a few characters. the script is
below.

<script language="JavaS cript">
document.write( '<div id=DivExample>" <!--#include
virtual="/Include_Pages_A sp/Main.htm" --></div>');
</script>

The characters that are added is right after the end of Main.htm page. they
are as follows.

');

I also get this JavaScript error in IE

Line: 48
Char:106
Error:Untermina ted string constant.

Since the page does load fully I suspect that Its a small syntax problem but
I just don't know what.

can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance :)

That should be a hint.

Count the 's and the "s in the above document.write call.

I see two 's but, oddly (pun intended), three "s. Three "s would usually
cause an unterminated string somewhere. " to open the string but no closing
". You are at the mercy of error correction.

I suspect the first " should not be there.

Re: SSI with javacript - syntax problem.

HI! thanks for responding. It still does not work. I see in source
view that it writes a one line then stops.

I being told that Includes need to happen on the server, this
include directive is being written out on the client by which time it's too
late to include.

Here is the link.

http://www.webcandesign.com/111/main_test_newnew.asp

How do load the page then?

Hello Paul,

If you're trying to do SSI with javascript, you're going about it all
wrong. It's called Server Side Includes (SSI) for a reason. That being
that it happens on the server side. You can attempt to do Client Side
Includes, but believe me, that will get messy real fast. Here are some
general solutions:

For an ASP page:

<!--#include virtual="filena me"-->
or
<!--#include file ="filename"-->

For a PHP page:
require("filena me");
or
include("filena me");

For a SHTML page:
<!--#include virtual="filena me"-->
or
<!--#include file ="filename"-->

Hope this helps.

Hi Paul,

when i take a look at the pagespurce, I see something different than posted:

document.write( <div id=DivExample>' <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
<html>
....
</html>
</div>');

First of all: The text inside the () must be quoted (single or double), so it
should be

document.write( '<div id=DivExample>< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ...

The next thing: There must nor be a line break inside the string. YIf you want
to have breaks, you have to insert the breaks as \n (or \r\n for Windows-Style).
Strings have to be concatenated (correctly written??) with +:

document.write( '<div id=DivExample>< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01'
+ ' Transitional//EN">'
+ '<html>');

And the last thing: Why are you using JS-document.write and not inserting the
SSI directly:

<div id=DivExample>< !--#include > virtual="/Include_Pages_A sp/Main.htm" --></div>

This (without the JS) should bring you to the wanted result.

Greetings,

Martin

<script language="JavaS cript"> is uncorrect

a " (dble quote) is missing

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( '<div id="DivExample> "'+
'<!--#include virtual="/Include_Pages_A sp/Main.htm" -->'+
'<\/div>');
</script>

allways an anti-slash before a slash next after a '<'
or :
'<'+'/div>'

and ... what have you in your Main.htm ?

Where? The script tag you quoted shows the deprecated language attribute
in quotes.

And it still won't work. It is because the include has already occured,
or attempted to occur, before the script is ever executed.

once more : what's content of 'Main.htm' ?

because in the page is :

document.write( <div id=DivExample>' <!DOCTYPE HTML ... >

and a quote is yet missing ... !
and,
if there if a return carriage in 'Main.htm'
it will not work

You'ld have to set in 'Main.htm' :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"<br>'+
'"http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/loose.dtd">

note the quotes (') and plus (+)

so, in your JS :

document.write( '<div id="DivExample" >'+
'"/Include_Pages_A sp/Main.htm" --></div>');

to get in end

document.write( '<div id="DivExample" >'+
'<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"<br>'+
'"http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/loose.dtd"><\/div>');

Re: SSI with javacript - syntax problem.

HI! thanks for the response. I am using it this form because I want to be
able to change the content. I want to be able to replace the include file
from a menu. Is there another way to do this without going this without
using the javascript in the way that I am using it?

Re: SSI with javacript - syntax problem.

HI! I don't the see the different between what you have shown me and what I
have done.

<!--#include virtual="/Include_Pages_A sp/Main.htm" -->

<!--#include virtual="filena me"-->

I am using asp. I dont understand the difference that you are pointing out.

Re: SSI with javacript - syntax problem.

I wonder now is there is perhaps an easier way by creating a session
variable to load the string ( path of the include file) and then change the
string value via the menu . would work? this would mean the include file
would not to be modified and it would treated as normal include file. is
this correct?

the differences are :

'virtual' is to use with a relative link
virtual="../folder/file.htm" : relative / page calling
virtual="/file.htm" : relative / root of site

'file' is to use with absolute link
file="http://sever/site/folder/page.htm"

the change of content with SSI can only be made by loading on server

You can use in SSI server request about url of document
then
get dynamicaly by SSI what it is expected

The JS will run after SSI instructions did
(and here : no need of JS)

here is a plan with SSI only
supposing sent url is this form :
'page.shtml?doc Type=4T'
or
'page.shtml?doc Type=41T'


file 'page.shtml' :

<!--#set var="Gotn" value="$QUERY_S TRING" -->

<!--#if expr="$Gotn = /. 4T ./" -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/loose.dtd">

<!--#elif expr="$Gotn = /. 4F ./" -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/frameset.dtd">

<!--#elif expr="$Gotn = /. 4S ./" -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/strict.dtd">


<!--#elif expr="$Gotn = /. 41T ./" -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

<!--#endif -->

<html>
<head>
....
</html>


SSI instruction :

<!--#if expr="$Gotn = /. 4T ./" -->

verify if '4T' exists inside value of ssi variable : $Gotn
that's : is string '4T' in url of called page ?

if yes, following html code is writen on page

if not, is ? :
<!--#elif expr=" ... blah ...



You can use this procedure to create on loading your menus

no, it is because what is to include is not a string
( doc type in 2 lines I think )

HI! And that's why I used virtual because its from the virtual root. I don't
