How can I include an ASP page in another ASP page with QUERY STRING.

Chris White, Yves Goldberg,

to include 1 asp page in another use #include, e.g.

<!-- #include file="page2.asp -->

unfortunatly these includes are determined at compile time, so the line

<!-- #include file=Request.QueryString("page") -->

would not work as at compile time, the Request object is not available 
to the compiler.

The only way around this is to use a select case statement in your 
code, e.g.

<%
page = Request.QueryString("page")

select case page
  case "page1"
    <!-- #include file="page1.asp" -->
  case "page2"
    <!-- #include file="page2.asp" -->
  case "page3"
    <!-- #include file="page3.asp" -->
  case else
    <!-- #include file="page4.asp" -->
end select
%>

Note this method is no different than just having all the code from 
pages 1-4 pasted in between the case statements, and will not save any 
compile time of the ASP page.
