Does anyone have an idea what to do here? I have no idea what the attribute would be. Or if it is even defined as an attribute?
<% if page="certainpage_1.asp" then %>
<!-- #include file="meta1.asp" -->
<% end if %>
<% if page="certainpage_2.asp" then %>
<!-- #include file="meta_2.asp" -->
<% end if %>
and so on 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
I'm looking to give inc_header a <meta name="keywords" content="more description, defined search results"> for certain added pages to my site.
Thank You,

You can not use conditional statements for INCLUDE files, also known as dynamic includes. What you can do and is a method I like is use Server.Execute. I have used it on a lot of the web sites I have developed that require dynamic pages to be called.

I just played with some code and got it to work the following way:<% if Request.ServerVariables("URL") = "/certainpage_1.asp" then %>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="meta_1.asp" -->
<% end if %>
<% if Request.ServerVariables("URL") = "/certainpage_2.asp" then %>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="meta_2.asp" -->
<% end if %>All you need to do is add the folders before the certianpage_(1 or 2).asp for it to work.
I hope this helps...

Thanks to You both.
I couldn't get either to call a different meta from my inc_header though. (It didn't call the file at all)....even though the file was not in the correct folder it did request the file. But after the file was positioned... the meta_1.asp did not open for inc_header. It asked for a statement.
I added the %> before and after <%
%>
<% if Request.ServerVariables("URL") = "certainpage_1.asp" then %>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="metafiles/meta_1.asp" -->
<% end if %>
<% if Request.ServerVariables("URL") = "certainpage_2.asp" then %>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="metafiles/meta_2.asp" -->
<% end if %>
<%
As I was able to learn from the replies. I may not have asked the question correctly.
I'm trying to let inc_header know that if it was called by certainpage1.asp then can it open metatag_1.asp
certainpage2.asp then inc_header will call metatag2.asp.
I want to replace
%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="metatag.asp" -->
<%
With options depending on which page is open.
I thank you both for this.

if Request.ServerVariables("URL") = "certainpage_1.asp" then
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="meta_1.asp" -->
end if
if Request.ServerVariables("URL") = "certainpage_2.asp" then
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="meta_2.asp" -->
end if
I tried this and didin't get an expected statement error. The meta_1.asp didn't call either.
Still trying
Thank You,

the problem with this method is that all INCLUDE files are still loaded up and then the conditional statement displays the segment you want. this incurs additional load times and conflicting variables at times. the method I would go about using the Server.Execute method is:
Select Case Request.ServerVariables("URL")
Case "/certainpage_1.asp"
strPage = meta_1.asp
Case "/certainpage_2.asp"
strPage = meta_2.asp
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select
Server.Execute(strPage)

You can not use conditional statements for INCLUDE files
what I meant to say with this statement is that you can not do something like this
<!--#INCLUDE FILE=strPage & ".asp" -->< |

I get an event that states this
The Path parameter must be specified for the MapPath method.
I'm sure that it is because I'm not understanding.
Select Case Request.ServerVariables("URL")
Case "does-anything-go-here/certainpage_1.asp"
strPage = metafiles/meta_1.asp
Case "does-anything-go-here/certainpage_2.asp"
strPage = metafiles/meta_2.asp
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select
Server.Execute(strPage)
I'm probably to deep into this but I appreciate the help.
THank You!
