Support for server-side includes
Support for server side includes in Design View with the syntax:
<!--#include virtual="include.txt" --> or <!--#include file="include.txt"
--> (using whatever file extension people choose to use.)
Note that php includes are already supported

Because as Steve notes above, php includes are already supported.
It's support for Classic ASP includes and SSI that that would be very much welcome. -

Tina, many newbies have difficulty in compensating for missing content when they are using server side includes in page layout. In addition, using the file system to preview as is the default for anything other than .php or .aspx files won't show you the content when you preview in browser either.
This is actually more important for the pros than the newbies because few newbies have a clue about server side includes but pros use them, frequently in conjunction with DWTs to minimize the number of pages they need to upload when adding a new page to a menu for instance.

I use server side includes frequently and not just on php sites for content that changes more frequently such as menus or submenus than I want to update and republish DWTs or design time includes.

not sure this is an essential, if a newbie wants these and can do it anyway its a mute point. Besides if you put a virtual server on the hd you can see em that way can't you? Same as looking at the page in the browser on your hd for the rest of the content. Low priority for me
