    file access

    Hi all!

    I have a small website and am having a slight difficulty keeping up with the
    changes needed to keep it current and fresh. I have a lot a archived pages
    that I'd like to rotate maybe in case I haven't prepared a new days worth of
    content. What I'm asking...
    ....is it possible to access html files on my files on my hosted site's
    server for the simple process of copying and pasting the code into another
    newly created file prior to loading it with the use of script functions that
    are compatible with Netscape and IE for Mac's and pc's?
    I ask before I embark on the quest of learning scripting. I have some
    programming skills in C++ from years ago and am sure will pick it up quite
    quickly, but should I, or should I use a different approach?


    Your advice would be extremely helpful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Jerry

      .... for is a server-side solution. Nothing else can provide reliably what
      you are requesting.

      Server-side JavaScript can provide that, client-side JavaScript cannot.

      I suggest you use PHPs includes, because it's free, open source, (like
      JavaScript) part of the C language family (i.e. has similar syntax) and
      is (unlike JavaScript) designed for server-side operation.

      This script is a hack. It's brute force. It's horrible.
      It doesn't use Artificial Intelligence. It doesn't use Virtual Reality.
      It's not perl. It's not python. It probably won't work unchanged on
      the "other" thousands of unices. But it worksforme. -- ramiro in run-mozilla.sh

          Reliably being the keyword. Solutions to read files on the client exist,
          but are depending on the client's configuration, and shouldn't be used
          for critical operations.

          JavaScript is just a language. It is designed for anything the platform
          allows. JavaScript on ASP, for example, is server-side, and works pretty
          well.
