Is 1stPage set up to have ASP includes preview correctly in the preview pane? Is there a way to activate this?

Thanks!!

You need to have your pages on a server that will do ASP in order to view them. It is difficult to design into browsers both the client (broser) functionality plus the server-side operations. This is, in part, because web servers have different variants that are being updated - look at the number of versions of Apache, PHP, IIS, etc. that are out there. No web editor could be expected to serve up all the variants. What this means, therefore, is that you need a way of quickly u/l to your sever to view the page. But face it, the ASP includes are most likely going to be code that you have thoroughly massaged already. For development purposes you can leave that code block in place and only in the final stage replace it with the include.
