Have discovered why my trial run didn't work - I'm on a Linux hosting plan which doesn't support .asp.However it does support Server Side Includes - any tutorials on them?

OK - thanks for that, will start learning ASP. Have looked through the first few pages and tried the example given at #include but can't get it to work.I put the three files mypage.asp, wisdom.inc and time.inc up into the test area of my web hoster. Accessed the mypage file via IE but the include didn't work. As the script has to run server side, should I be putting the files in a particular place? Or won't I be able to use asp because I don't have my own server (I just have a hosting package)?

I am just beginning to use CSS and have been working my way through the tutorials. Until now, the majority of what I have done has used frames. Can someone please point me in the direction of the tutorials I need which will enable me to set up a two column page along the lines of this Try-it example where the left hand column houses a menu.What I'm looking for is a tutorial which will show me how to set up the menu externally to the html file, so that the menu can be called into all of the html files, rather than having to code the menu in each file. (And then amend each html file if the menu changes). Is this done using css or html or something else?Thanks

Not sure if this is the right section, but here goes.I've read some stuff about trying to optimise your site for the search engines and I think what it said was that search engine robots/spiders/ whatever looked at tables and saw all the table formatting before they got to the content.So I have tried to set up a nice looking site without using tables - I've created a Container DIV and then further DIVS within it and used FLOAT positioning. But getting the format to look right in different browsers and in different resolutions is driving me nuts. With a table I could nicely centre and %age size it so that it looks OK regardless of resolution. Presumably, it would look OK in the 4 main browsers as well.My question is: how much of an advantage with the search engines is it to have non-table content as opposed to table content?

I have been trying to validate the index file on a new sub-domain, but when I use the validation tool, it keeps returning the results for an old index file for the main domain which was deleted sometime ago.How do I clear the 'ghost' file out of the validation area?
