The Service of Server-Side Includes

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Service of Server-Side Includes (ID: CSD1696)
Author(s):Michelle Mach (Colorado State University)
Source:Information Technology and Libraries
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (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).
