why not dynamically generate a JS file from your html using CGI?

e.g. site B references http://sitea.com/cgi-bin/jsgen?page=/a.html&ext=.js
site A generates a bunch of document.writes for each line of HTML between
body tags, the page when rendered from site B includes the HTML from site A
(although image references would have to be rendered absolutely instead of
relatively).
