I use javascript includes, they're called client side includes. For the
scenario you describe place something like the following script
block in your body where you want the include to appear:
<script>
if (today is){ // use some method for if today
document.write('<script src="todays.js"></scr'+'ipt>')
}
</script>
Then on todays.js return a document.write like so
document.write('The cow'+
'jumped over the'+
'moon')
You can nest document.writes in document.writes including a write
to an external js file. In fact you can nest cgi includes the same way,
for example:
<script>
qs=location.search.substring(1)
document.write('<script src="some.cgi?'+qs+'"></scr'+'ipt>')
}
</script>
and give the cgi the query string to determine what to return as
document.write output back to the page as an include. This allows a
"static" page from serverA to display, as an include, dynamic
content from serverB.
