Re: Need help with common web page information

Great idea, as long as every browser has JavaScript enabled and of
course the right version of JavaScript.

Most people, most of the time will have JavaScript enabled (perhaps they
don't even know HOW to disable it). However people that have been on the
web a while do regularly disable JavaScript. No JavaScript, no annoying
pop-ups and pop-under Windows. 

Additionally, if it is important to have the pages indexed by a search
engine, the web spiders do not do JavaScript, so if all the links are
created via included JavaScript file, then the search engine does not
see any more links.

A recent consultation of mind hit this exact problem. The client could
not figure out why his pages, other than the main page, were not getting
any sort of indexing. The JavaScript was very advanced, and worked
great, but mean that the search engines could not get in to see the 468
web pages of content that he had created.

O.K., So why can't she just put the "common" info in a document.write
statement in a dot js file, and just "call" it from every page needing
the "common" stuff?
