Administering an ISP Installation

Customizing HTML Footers

Many corporations place a standard footer on each page within a Web site. This can be difficult to maintain, because each individual page must be updated when a change is made to the footer. With IIS 5.0, you can include custom footer information in an HTML file that can be appended to the bottom of specified pages. When the footer is changed, all pages are updated automatically.

Note Customized HTML footers currently work only with static HTML pages. Since they degrade performance on high-volume servers, you should use them with care.

The footer file should contain only the HTML tags necessary for formatting the appearance and function of the footer content. For example, to create a custom footer that contains copyright information, write an HTML document that contains only the following tag: <B> Example1 Copyright 1997–1998 </B>.
