I'm trying to develop my own website.
I tried using html editors, but I find that building html files gives
me the control I need. So my platform is Windows XP, my
editor is emacs and I use IE7. I DO NOT run MS IIS on my
development platform. REPEAT: I work directly in html.
I am able to use cascading style sheets effectively. (Still a lot
to learn.)
However, when I use Server Side Includes, nothing happens.
In particular, an entry like
<!--#include virtual="myfile.ssi">
does not result in myfile.ss being included in the rendered page.
Is this because I really do not have a server?
In other words, if I point my browser at a local file (say
C:/mywebsite/index.html), that file is interpreted by IE7, is it true
that the "server side" directives are never processed?
Is there a workaround short of installing MS IIS?
I appreciate any help here. I have to develop on my platform, but
the inability to use included files means that changes to common
elements means changing them on every webpage where they
occur. Very inefficient.
Thanks in advance.
