debug-srcfile (optional) ,
debug-srcline (optional) ,
debug-log (optional) );

Description

The VSPX compiler replaces this control with the content of another page. This will include the content from the specified url at this point of the page. The url is relative to the page. The inclusion will be done before compilation of VSPX into Virtuoso/PL, hence the include can contain either vspx or static HTML content. The only requirement is that the included file be well formed. Note also that if you are using vspx namespace in the include file, it must be declared as such. This element will not be instantiated. instead of instantiating it will be replaced with content of the specified document. The included page may or may not contain a 'page' element. If a 'page' element is found in the included file this will be skipped in the resulting page. Also names of controls in the included file MUST NOT conflict with names of controls in the top level page or other included content.

Attributes

url. URL of file to be included. If relative then the base is the page where the control resides. E.g. If '/home/pageA' includes 'subdir1/pageB' and the included page includes 'subdir2/pageC' then 'pageC' should reside in '/home/subdir1/subdir2', not in '/home/subdir2'.

active = CalculateableValue . A data bound value to enable or disable the link. The default is '1' meaning 'enable'.

initial-active = CalculateableValue . A data bound value to enable or disable the link. The default is '1' meaning 'enable'. Unlike 'active' attribute, this one is effective only when the page is displayed in the first time, not after user posts data back to the page.

debug-srcfile. URI of the source document where the tag comes from.

debug-srcline. Line number in the source document where the tag comes from.

debug-log. This defines what sort of data are saved to the debugging log.

Examples

Example14.34. Include a common back-link into the end of page

If the file footer.xml is placed in the same directory where this sample page is located and contains the paragraph <P><a href="index.vspx">Back to index</a></P> then the resulting page will have additional paragraph at the end.

<v:page name="include__0" xmlns:v="http://http://example.com/vspx/">
  <html>
    <head><title>VSPX samples | v:include</title></head>
    <body>
      <p>The link after the horizontal ruler is included from footer.xml</p>
      <hr/>
      <v:include url="footer.xml"/> <!-- this will include the file described above -->

    </body>
  </html>
</v:page>
