A file with the extension .SHTML means it utilizes Server-Side Includes (SSI) which enables a web developer to insert HTML (by using an SSI command) across a whole website.

>>And some link have not filename
There's actually a file running just that it is the default file. Example, if the default file is index.asp, then http://www.myserver.com/news/ will actually run http://www.myserver.com/news/index.asp

ASKER

I am using IIS..i also using SSI command
<!--include virtual file='header.htm'-->
but my file name is xxx.html, just no using xxx.shtml.
why??
You uses SSI does not mean all pages got to be in shtml.
I mean the file name must be xxx.shtml when i use SSI command? otherwise, the web server will not run the SSI command?? if i use xxx.html, it will have problem??
