I **still** don't get the static vs dynamic thing. Am I dense or what?
If it is a static page, hand coded, then what's with the tags? That's
not static.
Do you mean a finely crafted, hand tweaked page for sku0123? Just
make page 'sku0132.html' and put it in your pages directory. IC
will pull that **static** page rather than a dynamic flypage. Or you
can use PageSelectField. Even in those cases you will still
probably want an [order] tag or some such.
Or do you mean you want to include a dynamic, random image within a
static page **outside** of IC, like a server side include? You can
do that too.
