I am new to JavaScript and need some guidance.
I have a site setup, where each page has 3 <div> columns. In the 3rd <div> Column, I want to populate dynamic content. Basically, I want to have 1 external file, which holds the content to be populated. The 3rd <div> column on each page would need to pull the information from the 1 external file. I want to insert JavaScript in the 3rd <div> column to direct the page to pull this content from the 1 external file.
Example: 3rd <div> column could show Ads or Promotions. The external file holds the images, links, etc. for the specific Ads or Promotions. The external file can be edited just once and all pages automatically show this new content because the JavaScript in the 3rd <div> column pulls from this external file.
This seems like it should be really simple, but I cannot find anything online that describes how to do this. I am likely not using the right keywords for my search because I am new to JS.
Any help/guidance is appreciated!
