Guys, I've been doing a lot of development using .shtml and server side includes. Testing, however, is a bit of a pain: I can't really test the includes are working until I upload all the files to my server. It occurs to me it would be terrific if this could be part of some standard: * If a browser (user agent) points to a local file, and if the filename ends in '.shtml', then the browser should endeavor to process any 'include' statements in the file in the same way a server would This would also be nice because I can put a whole website on a thumb drive then display it to a meeting or class without having to actually connect to the internet! Makes the site much more portable. Is that reasonable? Desirable? How do I go about proposing such behavior? Kind regards, -Steve Comstock 303-355-2752
