[thelist] Putting keyword meta tags in Include file

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

FrontPage Includes work like this:
You make the included page a normal HTML page.

When you save it to the server, the server strips out all the headers
and footers and dumps what's between the <body> tags into the
appropriate part of all the pages which include it.

This has a few plusses and minuses:
*) Saving an page which is included into many other pages takes a long
   time. This is fine as long as you're not doing it on your production
server
   (mmmm - dev->stage->production)
*) The pages aren't built at run time so you reduce your production server
   load as all it's doing is serving static pages
*) The pages aren't built at run time so you can't use them as a live
update
    facility

(Note that this is also true when you're editing an extraction of an FP
project through InterDev, or even an InterDev extracted extraction with
a text editor - I've run a good few search and replaces across
multi-thousand
page projects and it took a *long* time to do the saves)

Cheers
Martin

Like I said, I don't know of any client-side includes (though .jeff could
probably whip up some wack signed javascript to do the deed). If you're
talking about FP server extensions (or whatever they're called), those are
server side. If the includes reside on the server, then they are
server-side
includes.
