include virtual

[davelavelle]

Hi there, fiirst let me explain I am new to web development only been experimenting for 3- 5 months on and off. I can do most things on the web design but I am failing to underatnd this

<!--#include virtual="include/menu.asp" -->

I know it calls the file when the page loads. But when I preview in a browser I do not see the menu.


I would like to know why I do not see the menu in my preview. Am I missing an application or some tool I require.

if it helps I am only using expression web trial

I am working on a desktop, no server connection. I have ftp to a server where my site is. The site is maintained by a company but I would like to be able to edit the menu myself from time to time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Dave

From my understanding if your desktop isn't set up as a webserver it won't be able to run ASP pages. Is it set up as a webserver? i.e. running IIS

Thank for the time to reply.
