Enable document footer

Question

I tried to use Enable document footer function in IIS6 for my web sites

after some tests i discovered that it works for static files only

may i config it for pages like aspx or asp or maybe u have alternative solutions?

As you correctly point out, the IIS Document Footer feature only works with static files.

With ASP you could use include files:

<!-- #include file="footer.html" -->

The downside is that you'd need to add the include directive to all your ASP scripts.

If you're using ASP.NET you could use a HttpModule to inject a header and footer into every page. There's an example of how to do this on CodeProject:

Add a header and footer control to all web pages in a web application, using HTTP module

I downloaded the sample project and it works a treat.
