Re: SSI with ASP

I think you might be making this a little more complicated than you need to.
Rather than storing a bunch of separate files for each data chunk, you could
just use a case statement inside your include:


<% Select Case Request.QueryString("id")

         Case "123" %>

        Advertiser 123 Text Goes Here

<%    Case "XYZ" %>

        Advertiser XYZ Text Goes Here

<%    Case "666" %>

        Advertiser 666 Text Goes Here

<% End Select %>
