Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
The server is Windows 2003 with IIS 6
I have the following simple code in default.asp:
<script language="JavaScript" src="functions.inc"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert(strVal);
</script>

the file functions.inc contains:
var strVal = "ABCD"

When I'm trying to view the default.asp page in IE I get the error strVal is undefined.
If I move both files (default.asp and functions.inc) on another server which runs Windows 2000 and IIS 5 it is working fine.
On Windows 2003 machine I did checked the "Include parent paths" checkbox. Also ASP is enabled.
Any ideeas ? Thank you

Hi,

I *think* that this could be related to that IIS6 will not serve .inc
extension by default. Have you tried to change this?

The problem may be that the alert(); is firing before functions.inc has a
chance to download (and possibly the browser is being told not to cache it).

It is working on the IIS v5 server because IE has already downloaded
functions.inc sometime previously and has it cached in the local browser
cache.

To test this, I would suggest that you move the alert() call into the
functions.inc file, or run the function onLoad or similar.

Since this is a javascript issue, I don't think any of the ASP, or Parent
Path settings are relevant to the problem.

Cheers
Ken

Thank you for your answer but is not that. I've changed the code to call the alert() from a function which is called when I press a button. So is 100% sure that the functions.inc is loaded.
Also, on Windows 2000 and IE 5 it worked fine from the very beginning so IE cache was not used.
I assume is a server problem (IIS 6 not necessary ASP) because THE SAME CODE is working fine on IIS 5.
Also I'm sure is not a browser problem (on Windows 2003 I have IE 6) because using Windows 2003 as client I can load ok the file if I'm using Windows 2000 as web server.

I found something:
if I change the include file extension from inc to js is working fine.
As I don't want (and cannot) to change my whole web application I will search to see if I can find some settings in IIS 6 to allow to specify files with diferent extensions.
It seems the IIS 6 designers choosed to "fix" a security issue in a functionality by disabling the whole functionality.

Oh, IIS 6 will not serve a file is there is no MIME type mapping for the
extension. .inc is not included in the default list of extensions. You need
to add that in yourself (either globally, or for a particular website). You
can do this via the IIS MMC Snapin.

Cheers

Make sure you have enabled server-side includes.
add/remove windows comp
application server
IIS
WWW
Server Side Includes (check it).
OK.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
