I dont have CGI, PHP, ASP etc on my site and would like to show html or text from another file on my site.
For example the text would say “There are currently ? downloads” in one file and all I do is change that file and the text is updated on all pages, meaning I dont have to change each page individually.
Is there a way to do this, any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Ray, you do realize that users without JS won't see your navigation, right?

(P.S., extra period in the URL in Ray's post, should be able to just click on the one in the quote here)

Yep but I don't care. Keeps out the riff-raff. ?

Aw, maaaaaan. And I took extra care to space it out of the devedge url. It's the stupid busted forum auto-link-gen crap. Ok, I'll fix it.

@PeOfEoJan 16.2004 — #lol. You should have a backup or some way non-js ppl can browse. Because sometimes I like to run around with it off (dramatically cuts down on those annoying ads that are like popups but are not actually a new window so my blocker doesnt stop them)

@Paul_JrJan 16.2004 — #Lol, I figured you knew about it, but I asked for my own personal gain. You could probably do a bit of a [FONT=courier new]<noscript> </noscript>[/FONT] wrapped around the menu code? You'd have to move it out of the Iframe, or just add a copy of it to the index file.

@JonaJan 16.2004 — #[font=arial]You could use an IFRAME and update its location and read from it via JavaScript, but that's definitely NOT recommended.[/font]

@gregbainsauthorJan 17.2004 — #Its an free ISP server with 30mb webspace and it dont support anything like CGI etc.

Cheers for the help, I dont really want to use an IFrame as not everyone can see it, and it doesnt always display properly.

I wouldnt mind using Javascript if anyone has the code to do it.

@gregbainsauthorJan 18.2004 — #Cheers for the help I have solved the problem with Javascript,

linking to a remote javascript file, which contains document.write....

@ray326Jan 18.2004 — #Ok, guys, I put a riff-raff helper into blab-n-lab. I'm also starting to play with HTML-kit rather than 1st Page and it's quite nice except for a few UI irritations. It still blows chunks on its auto-preview feature.

@Paul_JrJan 18.2004 — #I don't like HTML-Kit that much. I'd actually prefer Homesite, but the trial ran out, and I don't have the money on hand to buy it. I'm beginning to get attached to Crimson Editor, except I'd like it to have code-blocks, like it Homesite. I just hit Ctrl+J, menu pops up, and I can insert blocks of code at will. ?

@pyroJan 18.2004 — #Paul, you could pick up a student copy of Dreamweaver MX 2k4 for $99, which comes with Homesite+. Hard to beat that... ?

DW MX 2k4, with Homesite, for 99 bucks? Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum, that's one phat deal, G.

Where exactly could I find this student copy of DW?

Choice. Thanks a lot, G.

Yeah. Like Homie, Holmes, Bro, Ect., Ect...

Also, does the student version of DW differ at all from the normal version?

@pyroJan 18.2004 — #Ah, ok... ?

As far as differing, I highly doubt it. Normally the only differences are the license agreement and the pricetag. :p

@Paul_JrJan 18.2004 — #Aight, man. Thanks a lot, this is awesome.

@pyroJan 18.2004 — #Sure thing, mate... ?
