Depending on the site's target browser audience (i.e., fifth generation
and higher), you may want to consider building it using the W3C's DOM.
Scott Andrew Le Pera has a good tutorial on this:

One big catch with using the JavaScript call is that anyone with a
browser that doesn't support it (which is about 10% of the browsers out
there) won't see the footer.
