.asp / blogger.com brain scratcher...

I have an .asp file that generates a nav menu.

I have tried and tried to "include" this in the blogger template, so that I can update the menu dynamically, without fiddling with a cumbersome blogger template all of the time.

The question is, does anyone know how I can "call" this file in to the template successfully?

I have tried using <script> tags: something like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://url.com/menu.asp"></script>

But had no success.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

 

if it's an asp file you want to include then try

<!--#include file=myfile.asp-->

better still name it as "myfile.asa" as that's the convention for asp includes ( I believe)

the blogger system doesn't like that method of includes.

that didn't work.

I know the .asp page works, as I use it on the main site with no problems.

 

If your are trying to include an ASP page into a PHP, no type of include might work, not even iframes

However here is some enlightening about it: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=78518&highlight=asp+include

Now, if you are trying to include ASP into ASP, and you prefer javascript but is not working, try instead vbscript

 

I've figured this out! (with the help of ChrisHirst over at tek-tips)

See this article:

In short, I had to let the .asp page do its processing on the server, then capture the output using xmlhttp requests.

the code I specifically used, was this: (saved on my server as an .asp file, then called as an include in the blogger template.)

<%
  Response.Buffer = True
  Dim objXMLHTTP, xml

  ' Create an xmlhttp object:
  Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
  ' Or, for version 3.0 of XMLHTTP, use:
  ' Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

  ' Opens the connection to the remote server.
  xml.Open "GET", "http://www.mysite.com/menu.asp", False
	
  ' Actually Sends the request and returns the data:
  xml.Send

  Response.Write xml.responseText
 
  
  Set xml = Nothing
%>

Code (markup):

Since the processing and output of this page is just html, blogger has no problems with it. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
