SYMPTOMS
========

You can append page footers in HTML documents; however, this does not work in
Active Server Pages (ASP) documents.

WORKAROUND
==========

Although footers cannot be appended automatically, it is possible to manually
apply the footer to an ASP page using code similar to the following:

     <!--#include virtual="/includepath/footer.inc"-->

MORE INFORMATION
================

ASP pages are processed before content is displayed to the browser. Appending
footers increases the amount of processing time, and therefore degrades overall
Internet Information Server (IIS) performance.

For more information on how to append footers, see the following page in the IIS
documentation:

NOTE: The IIS documentation needs to be installed in order to view this page.
