Hi,

I don't want to user HTML-framesets, so I created a frameset with Server 
Side Includes. My main ASP page looks like this:

*********** default.asp page *************
...
<% On Error Goto 0 %>
...
<% if CONDITION1 then %>
    <!--#include FILE="file1.inc.asp" -->
<% else if CONDITION2 then %>
    <!--#include FILE="file2.inc.asp" -->
<% end if %>
...
******************************************

Using this method I can easily build a kind of frameset that includes 
different frames depending on the conditions.

But since I am working in the 'on error goto 0' mode, I am getting the 
problem, that variables defined in both included files are returning the 
error 'variable redefined' in this ASP page. This happens because ASP 
first replaces the include files (before executing the 'if then' 
statement). I can avoid this problem only by defining the variables in 
this ASP page or by setting 'on error resume next' - both solutions that i 
don't really like :-/

So my question is: Is there a better way to build a kind of frameset 
without using HTML-framesets?

Thanx for any help,
Flummi

Change the code in your include files to be *routines* (ie functions and
subroutines)

Put the include files at the top of the page.

Call the routines as required:

<%
If blnCondition1 then
    DoRoutine1()
Else
    DoRoutine2()
End If
%>
