Display Remote Text

I dont have CGI, PHP, ASP etc on my site and would like to show html or text from another file on my site.<br />
For example the text would say "There are currently ? Download <!--more-->s" 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.<br />
Is there a way to do this, any help would be appreciated.<br />
Cheers<br />

Do you mean to say your host doesn't support them? The host does not have it enabled for the general users on the server :P (crappy host, don't you think?)<!--content-->Check out the way I'm doing that at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://blab-n-lab.home.comcast.net">http://blab-n-lab.home.comcast.net</a><!-- m -->.

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

Yep but I don't care. Keeps out the riff-raff. :)<br />

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.<!--content-->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)<!--content-->Lol, I figured you knew about it, but I asked for my own personal gain. You could probably do a bit of a <noscript> </noscript> 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.<!--content-->You could use an IFRAME and update its location and read from it via JavaScript, but that's definitely NOT recommended.<br />

It's the stupid busted forum auto-link-gen crap. Ok, I'll fix it. For real. You'd have thought they would have checked to make sure the URL didn't end with a . (or other common punctuation)... Very annoying.<!--content-->Its an free ISP server with 30mb webspace and it dont support anything like CGI etc.<br />
Cheers for the help, I dont really want to use an IFrame as not everyone can see it, and it doesnt always display properly.<br />
I wouldnt mind using Javascript if anyone has the code to do it.<!--content-->Cheers for the help I have solved the problem with Javascript,<br />
linking to a remote javascript file, which contains document.write....<!--content-->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.<!--content-->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. :D<!--content-->Paul, you could pick up a student copy of Dreamweaver MX 2k4 for $99, which comes with Homesite+. Hard to beat that... ;)<!--content-->Originally posted by pyro <br />

DW MX 2k4, with Homesite, for 99 bucks? Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum, that's one phat deal, G. <br />
<br />
Where exactly could I find this student copy of DW?<!--content-->http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-EDU&event=displayProduct&categoryOID=135135&distributionMethodOID=103<!--content-->Originally posted by pyro <br />

Choice. Thanks a lot, G.<!--content-->G?<!--content-->Originally posted by pyro <br />
G? <br />
Yeah. Like Homie, Holmes, Bro, Ect., Ect...<br />
<br />
Also, does the student version of DW differ at all from the normal version?<!--content-->Ah, ok... ;)<br />
<br />
As far as differing, I highly doubt it. Normally the only differences are the license agreement and the pricetag. :p<!--content-->Aight, man. Thanks a lot, this is awesome.<!--content-->Sure thing, mate... :)<!--content-->Originally posted by pyro <br />

Mate? And you're from Wisconsin...?<!--content-->I have too many English influences on me... ;)<!--content-->
