[WEB4LIB] Re: CSS Includes (SSI)

Here's an example, but I should point out this makes use of XSSI
(extended server side includes). Apache has the docs on these as well. The
only difference is that XSSIs allow you to make conditional statements, as
below. The two partial html files are 'fancy' and 'plain.' As one of the
other posts mentioned, you may want to name these without the html
extension.

----------------
<html>
<head><title>Golly Gosh Productions</title>

<!--#if expr="$HTTP_USER_AGENT = /Mozilla\/4/" -->
<!--#include virtual="fancy.html" -->
<!--#else -->
<!--#include virtual="plain.html" -->
<!--#endif -->

</html>

That sounds interesting; I have been doing browser detection with
javascript and am not completely happy with it.  Do you have an example or
reference for this?

Thanks!
Donna
