DOCUMENT:Q228717 05-AUG-2000 [iis] TITLE :Document Footers Do Not Work with ASP Pages PRODUCT :Internet Information Server PROD/VER:winnt:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Document footers do not work with ASP files. CAUSE ===== This occurs because ASP files (and other ISAPI applications) feed their responses to the client directly and have control of keeping the connection open or closing it. Because IIS cannot determine when ASP (or ISAPI applications for that matter) has completed its request, it cannot determine when to send the footer, or even if it has a connection to send it on. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, use .htm or .html files instead of ASP files, or add server-side include (SSI) directives to the ASP files to specify the footer file. MORE INFORMATION ================ For information on using SSI tags, see the "Using Server-Side Include Directives" topic in the product documentation.
