Development JS version of PHP include/require

so before this piece of crap gets finalized as boy scout troop 360's official web page I need to do something. It was origionaly written with a WYSIWYG... all internal CSS... cream/puke colored background. No background image transparencies, and no layout whatsoever....


so after witnessing this fiasco I want to throw something together. My problem is that frames suck. But I want the functionality. Hence PHP include/require something. However I would realy like it to be JS or something along those lines because of server-side support/lack-thereof and because I can demo it offline. Is there a JS method that would acomplish what I need?

looking for a quick response. im almost done with the sketchup before I start working.

thanks

 

Have a look at server side includes if you dont want to use php.

JS is a bit of a clumsy way of doing it.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html

 

I suppose you could use <script src="anotherfile.js" type="text/javascript"></script> and use document.write() in anotherfile.js to output the content, but that's a nightmare for accessibility and search engine visibility, so please do not do it

 

jusy use SSI - any decent webhost will have them enabled and they are easy asy pie to use.

 

im reluctant to becaue I need it to function offline too. I might have found what I want though

 

err...install php on your pc? then you can test it offline .

 

Then just run a local apache server. sorted.

 

portable viewing... come on guys I know what I need :~/

 

Well you've rejected everything so far apart from use of JS to document.write out <script> tags, so looks like that is your only bet

 

We'll I'll warn you now. What you want to do with JS is awful webpractice and will prob cause you more problems in the long run.
