Page Footers Do Not Work on ASP Pages (195289)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0

This article was previously published under Q195289

We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS

You can append page footers in HTML documents; however, this does not work in Active Server Pages (ASP) documents.

WORKAROUND

Although footers cannot be appended automatically, it is possible to manually apply the footer to an ASP page using code similar to the following:

   <!--#include virtual="/includepath/footer.inc"-->

MORE INFORMATION

ASP pages are processed before content is displayed to the browser. Appending footers increases the amount of processing time, and therefore degrades overall Internet Information Server (IIS) performance.

For more information on how to append footers, see the following page in the IIS documentation:

NOTE: The IIS documentation needs to be installed in order to view this page.
