You could use Server Side Includes if you go the text file route. Apache and
IIS both support them without the need for ASP files. But what the heck. His
money is good, isn't it? Design him a site that works in Front Page.

I am redesigning a site for a client, and when I am done he wants to be
able
to make changes to the pages with *shudder* Front Page.  He has a
propensity
for really garish colors and huge text.  I want to let him be able to
update
stuff, but at the same time I don't want him to mess up all the work
I've
done, as my company logo and link is going to be on the site!!!

For the home page, I've thought of using some kind of text scroller in
the
middle of the page that might pull it's info from a text file.  Then I
could
teach him how to edit the text file without touching the rest of the
page,
and he could put little "news items" in that way.  I've done this before
in
ASP but I don't think his server supports it.  Does anybody know of a
way to
do this (javascript, CGI, etc) without ASP?

I would appreciate anybody's input or ideas on this, esp if you have
some
similar experience.
