texte = Donovan -I prefer to map .html to WebCat... I like being able to use DNA on all pages, whether the content is what you would normally consider dynamic or not. I like using .html rather than .tpl because of it's familiarity to users - they don't know and shouldn't care that the page is dynamic (I'm always a little leery when going to a cgi-bin or .asp page). I'm a fan of simple URLs without obscure file extensions and lengthy parameter strings. I can use dynamic tools on what would normally be static pages - header and footer include files to provide consistent navigation bars, background colors/images, fonts, etc - without having to update the recurring components in multiple pages.As for slowing things down, it doesn't have a noticable impact - at least on the low to medium traffic sites I've worked with. Depending on your server's caching tools, it can actually speed things up by taking advantage of WebCat's page caching. Any pages that you don't want WebCat to deal with, leave out the WEBDNA comment and WebCat will just do a quick peek before passing the page on.- brianAt 4:13 PM 8/15/2001, Donovan Brooke wrote: >Hello, > >What are the benefits/drawbacks of mapping .html to the webcat PI?
