Dreamweaver problem with shtml

    I'm trying to create a website but want to include a menu and a footer on each page. Dreamweaver allows this and when I view the page using the F12 key using IE6 the page looks fine. However when I view it by double clicking on the page from Windows Explorer I see absolutely nothing.
    Any help in solving this problem would be greatfully appreciated!

    Server Side Includes need to be "executed" by software to show up. On the server-side the webserver will do this if they're enabled, and Dreamweaver emulates this behaviour to show you what the pages will look like on the server-side. In Explorer though, you're just looking at the raw file and nothing is executed. So there's no solution, that's what's supposed to happen. If you want to test the pages offline without doing it through DW, you'll need to install a local webserver.

    The solution would be to install an Apache "kit" locally and use that to preview your pages...

    Sound people thanks very much. Would IIS work?

    What types of webserver software are there other than Apache (it's a bit confusing)? I installed it but cannot figure out where to put my files!

    IIS will do SSI/.shtml

    For apache, look for your files in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs (or the htdocs folder of whereever you installed it)

    .cg
