Question What is: BOF: ?

Hi all

I have been asked to write an SEO report on a site:

Hot Tubs Cornwall - Spas Cornwall

when I looked up the source code I found something I've never seen before -
I'm assuming the BOF/EOF is 'beginning of file'/'end of file' can anyone enlighten me as to what this is exactly and why?

I'm really curious!

Ben.

You're correct in your assumption.

BOF means Beginning of File, EOF means End of File.

It appears the site is template based where one file uses server side includes to build the desired pages.

SSI is commonly used in .asp, .shtml and .php pages where you'd have an include file for your header, another for the footer and another for your navigation menu. Since they're quite repetitive and don't change much from page to page, server side includes make it quick and easy to implement side-wide changes or updates by editing a single file.

Thanks Dubbya

Another case of a designer playing with his toy box and not thinking about the bigger picture!
