Question

Passing parameters to classic ASP include files

Answer 1

+5 A:

document.write is client-side JavaScript. What you want in header.inc is:

<html>
<head>
    <title><%=title%></title>

Or more verbosely:

<html>
<head>
    <title><% Response.Write title %></title>

Other than that, what you have should work (without the Server.Execute, just do the include as you show further down).

Cheers I spotted that mistake but it still doesn't work, I think I have to use Session

@Chris: This works just fine, you don't need to use Session for it. I just tested it to be sure.

@Chris, What T.J. Crowder has posted is working 100%. You will only find obstacles, with this method, if you want to dynamically include files..

Answer 2

A:

As far as I can tell using sessions is the only way

<%
Session("title") = "mytitle"

Server.Execute("header.inc")
%>

<title><% response.write(Session("title")) %></title>

This article also shows the same results

No, you don't need to use sessions. I just tested my answer and it works just fine.

T.J. Crowder 2010-03-31 11:22:22

Use  (as in your original example) to include the header file and then you can simply reference the title variable as @TJCrowder shows. When you include a file, ASP imports the contents of the included file before processing any of the code on the page. Any page-scope variables defined in the ASP page will also be available in the include file (and vice versa).
