Re: HTML/Web design question

[Mike Stockman <mstockman -at- mac -dot- com>]

I just ran into this with some hand-coded pages on a server where I 
didn't have the ability to use SSI (server-side includes)... so I figured 
out a solution that seems to work, although any warnings/caveats from 
those more experienced will be welcome.

I created a JavaScript file (called footer.js) that contained a series of 
document.write statements to write, line-by-line, the footer I wanted. 
Then each page in my site has a line at the right location that says 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" 
src="./footer.js"></script> that drops the file right into my page.

The only drawback I can find is that it requires JavaScript to be enabled 
in the viewing browser, but otherwise, it worked fine for my small, 
internal project.

Hope this helps, and please, let me know if anyone knows of any 
drawbacks...

Mike
