to have something in a separate file, i believe you'll have to either use a
server side include (if your server supports those) or use the <frame> or
<iframe> tags (i believe nn supports one of those and ie supports the other,
but i haven't done anything with them in ages, so i don't remember.

one thing with the <frame> stuff, though, is that i'm pretty sure you have
to define a set area on the page and if what you have goes beyond that, the
user will have to scroll, so this will only work if the text you want to
insert will remain fairly small...  

another thing you might look into is layers, but i'm not sure how widely
these are supported by browsers; i've never used 'em.

have fun!

Yes, I understand this method. Is there any other, more elegant way to do
this?

Can the *text* that I want to write using the aforementioned method be kept
in
a separate file? If so, how can javascript use it?
