Actually I use includes a lot in PHP and in Witango. So there is a
navigation menu on all pages. In Witango, it's <@INCLUDE
FILE="someMenu.tml">, in PHP it's <?php include('someMenu.php'); ?>I didn't mean to imply that includes were not used. What I meant was that if you did NO external calls outside the Witango editor functions, then you need to pull those out in some way. If you did no "hand-coding" it will be more difficult to extract the functionality. Sorry, I didn't mean this to be a "let's abandon Witango and here's how you do it". This is my final post on this topic. I just wish to hear one way or the other on the status... :) Beverly On 10/20/08 12:29 PM, "WebDude" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in whole or in part: > Yes, there are statements in some of the includes, along with variables.
