SSI Alternative

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to find a javascript that will allow me to emulate the actions of Server Side Includes by using a Javascript that will grab code from an external file (either HTML or TXT) and put it into a page.

Is this possible? If so, can somebody send me the information on how to make it happen?

Thanks in advance

@benwaldenauthorMar 06.2003 — there is no canned functions that used document.write to passs code from a souce to the destination?

the reason I'm asking is the fact that I'm building a site on geocities.com - absolutely void of all server side applications.

thanks in advance.

@JonaMar 06.2003 — Sorry, there is no way whatsoever to interact with external files with Javascript. The only external file interaction that can be done is simple HTML: <script [i]src="someFile.js"[/i]> But that's about the most that you can do.

It is possible to interact with the FileSystem using ActiveX and the WSH (Windows Scripting Host). I've used JavaScript to add a shortcut to Notepad before, but that's just about the most I could do. ?

@benwaldenauthorMar 06.2003 — well then, what scripting options would you suggest? I'm decent with ASP and SSI, but I can't find any service through geocities to make it work...

@JonaMar 06.2003 — Geocities doesn't support any server-side language. Here is a list of free ASP sites:
