title: xampp includes not working
body: <p>First off, how do I know if my html file is running on localhost in Xampp?
  Is there a tutorial on how to manage files/directories and get that all working under htdocs?
  Is there a good tutorial on how to setup includes?</p>
  
  <p>I want to use "includes" in Xampp with my html.
  Can I use both html includes AND php includes?
  Do I have to put shtml?
  Can I use shtml, html, htm, and php includes?
  Do they have to be in an includes directory that is a subdirectory right under htdocs?
  Can I reference includes in some other subdirectory?
  My site will have over 100 pages, and I am trying to do "experiments" with different versions until I am happy. So, I have subdirectories for the various drop down menus. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get this working in xampp.
  Having trouble getting my javascript menus from Vista Buttons to show up, now that I moved my main directory for my site to the htdocs directory.</p>
