If I have a page that is a .shtml page but I want to call a script in the middle of it, how do I do that?[nbsp][nbsp]I have figured it out with frames, but I am trying not to use them.

Thanks!

When you say "... call a script in the middle of it" I'm assuming you mean run a CGI script?[nbsp][nbsp]If so, here's how I do it...

<!--#include virtual=&quot;/cgi-bin/scriptdirectory/scriptname.cgi&quot; -->

I use shtm a LOT for both including static pages and running CGI scripts to insert dynamic content... very handy tool.

what do shtm files differently then htm files?

.shtm or .shtml tells the server that an action is taken on the file before it is sent to the browser.[nbsp][nbsp]That is the idea behind SSI (server side includes) which allows site-wide formatting through a single text file or execution of scripts like counters, for example.
