Include Control
See also: Surrounding JSPs, Controls, Layouts
Description
An Include Control represents an external JSP or HTML file that can be inserted into the generated page output at the location represented by the control. Only files within the Ebase web application can be included. This is very similar to the four surrounding JSPs that can be placed around a form page, but extends this facility by allowing a JSP/HTML page to be included at any location.
In the WYSIWYG View, an Include Control is shown with an anchor icon as shown below – the system does not attempt to display the include file content. Therefore in this instance, there is a difference between the appearance of the page in the WYSIWYG View and as rendered by a browser.
