It doesn't matter. Even if you got the script to work it wouldn't work. SSI
is done server side. That is why it is called Server Side include.

By the time your script gets to execute you are client side, no further
access to the server.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Assuming you're trying to include the content of one page within
another...
Use an IFRAME if you have no server-side language available (aside from
SSI).
If you have ASP or JSP, they can include pages in the output. I'm pretty
sure Perl can, too.

If you're trying to include pages only if some condition is true, and
that condition is determined on the client, you'll need javascript and
an IFRAME, as far as I know.

I'm out of ideas after that. :)

The greater flexibility of server-side scripting aside, I can't see a
difference between:-

< some HTML >
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( "");
document.write( "something else");
</script>
< some more HTML>

- and:-

< some HTML >

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( "something else");
</script>
< some more HTML>

- Except that the latter is not JavaScript dependent and avoids having
to worry about the appropriateness of the characters within the include
in the context of a JavaScript string.

That is, if the point is to get the included HTML onto the page why not
include it in the HTML?

Me neither actually.
It's early. :)

I think the OP wanted the html included only if some condition were
satisfied. It was unclear if the condition was decided on the client or
on the server. Actually, the whole question was unclear. *heh*

Re: trying to document.write( ) a SSI

sorry fo being unclear.

The idea is that if a user has filled in a for then a page is included,
that page will take a variable posted from the form as an argument..

so.

the page to be included needs to process the variables and then be
included..

but i see that (obviously) SSI is server side..

I do have access to PHP so i am going to do it this way.. i was trying
to do it without php as a collegue is not proficient with the language

thanks for your response, somtimes the obvious is too obvious

cheers

you certainly can do that with JavaScript.

The form
<html>
<form action="js_read .html">
Give your Name :
<input type=text name="MyArgumen t">
<input type=submit value="GO">
</fomr></html>

to reach a specific page

js_read.html
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
this.location.e scape();
if(MyArgument!= '') self.location=' trucmuche/'+MyArgument+'. htm';
</script>
Sorry JavaScript error
</html>

to write in a page

js_read.html
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
this.location.e scape();
function dc(txt) { document.write( txt);}
if(MyArgument!= '') trucmuche ='<h2>Hello '+MyArgument+'</h2>';
else trucmuche ='';
</script>
<body>
blabla
<script type="text/javascript">
dc(trucmuche);
</script>
re blah blah
</body>
</html>

and/or use ssi same way
