Hi there

I wanted to use a hidden form field from one ASP/HTML page, such as:

<input type="hidden" name="mySSIfile" value="MyTextFile.txt" />

The value of which, on submission to my target ASP page, could be specified as an SSI file and generated into the target page. So I wrote in the target page:

<%
strDetails = Request.Form("mySSIfile")
response.Write("")
%>

But this doesn't actually execute the #include command. I've tried all different ways of doing this I can think of, like breaking out of the <% %> delimiters etc, but can't make it work. Is it possible to do this, or am I missing something obvious?

Your code won't work and it would throw an error only .. its because in ASP the include directives are resolved before the server-side script portions are processed.

But there are work arounds which are neatly expalined in this article

Hi,
     It is not possible through include directives. It is possible through server.execute("") method.
Thanks
