[web] Sharing code between pages

I have a moveable menu (&#106avascript) on all my webpages. However, when I change this menu I need to edit all the other pages. I've tried writing a &#106avascript function that uses document.write() to display the menu code. This does not seem to work well with my movemenu code (IE complains that the script will slow the page down too much). I'm suspecting that the setTimeout() function in my movemenu code forces my menu code to be reloaded everytime. Is there another way of sharing my menu between my pages without using CGI, PHP or &#106avascript. I am not shure if CSS can do it, I doubt it though. Thanks for any help.

Wasn't there some CSS bug that let you include &#106avascript? I don't remeber the exact details.

rather than putting the &#106avascript on each page, put it in its own file, then import the file where you need it with this code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="&#106avascript" SRC="myscript.js"&gt;<br>&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;<br></pre></code></pre>

just to add on to gavco98, when you include the &#106avascript from the external file, it makes it possible for the browser to cache that file, therefor getting the thing downloaded for each page.

Also, it think that <script type="text/&#106avascript" src="include.js"></script> is more xhtml solid.

Be careful that you don't use

<script src="smoething" />

As it's perfectly valid XHTML, but the MSIE parser will ignore the rest of the document.
