The Service of Server-Side Includes
| Title: | The Service of Server-Side Includes (ID: CSD1696) | | Author(s): | Michelle Mach (Colorado State University) | | Topics: | Internet and Web Applications, Web Administration, Design, and Development, Web Content Management | | Source: | Information Technology and Libraries | | Origin: | Community Contributions (2001) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The use of server-side includes (SSI) simplifies Web site maintenance by generating Web pages on-the-fly, rather than creating static HTML pages. This article provides examples and instructions for common uses of SSIs, including displaying environmental variables, inserting file information, and using the advanced capabilities of extended SSI (XSSI). Potential concerns including security, WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editors, filename extensions, and server load are discussed, as are the advantages and disadvantages of SSI over more well-known tools like CGI, JavaScript, or Active Server Pages (ASP). | | View this resource: | |
