SYMPTOMS
========

Document footers do not work with ASP files.

CAUSE
=====

This occurs because ASP files (and other ISAPI applications) feed their
responses to the client directly and have control of keeping the connection open
or closing it.

Because IIS cannot determine when ASP (or ISAPI applications for that matter) has
completed its request, it cannot determine when to send the footer, or even if
it has a connection to send it on.


RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, use .htm or .html files instead of ASP files, or add
server-side include (SSI) directives to the ASP files to specify the footer
file.

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

For information on using SSI tags, see the "Using Server-Side Include
Directives" topic in the product documentation.
