    hi ive created pages in dreamweaver using SSI's.
    When they are uploaded to the server they do not work.

    Should SSI work on all servers? or just specific ones?

    ssi doesn't usually run by default, server admins need to set it up, only let it be used for #include file calls, never for exec of something and often won't due to security probs, full stop.

    also in my experience ssi are rarely permitted on isp virtual hosts and imho shouldn't be

    even more also there's factors in where in the directory structure you have your files depending on server platform.

    best to read the DW help on ssi's which might give you more insight into your problem

    As mentioned, SSI is not turned on by default in a lot of shared hosting environments. You will also find that the implementation may vary from provider to provider.
    There are a number of good guides on possible uses etc:
