298709 - browser doesn't open SSI (.inc /include files) to display

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[christi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When using a directive of: <!--#include virtual="../inc/topbarExplore.inc" -->,
it comes up blank - Firefox will not load the .inc or even .html file when it's
included as "include virtual" or "include file"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert <!--#include virtual="../inc/topbarExplore.inc" --> in HTML code within
a table
2.save, and refresh (also Ctr F5)
3. file (topbarExplore.inc or tobarExplore.html) will not load within the
existing HMTL page, just appears blank.

Actual Results:  
I have an empty space where the 'topbarExplore.inc or .html' is to appear

Expected Results:  
loaded the .inc or .html file. It works with IE, is it not supposed to also work
with Firefox?

Server side includes happen on the server side, so the problem is very likely in
the code that you are including, not the fact that you are including it. Do you
have a link to the page?

Ignore comment 1 that was for the bug 298708

INVALID.

The inclusion of the file needs to be done by the webserver before it's sent to
the browser, it's not done by the client (webbrowser). That's why it's called
SSI - Server Side Include :-)
