javascript html include or iframe

[j4606]

Server at work runs a public website, no access to ssi. Whats the better choice?

was thinking of building something with javascript to include html and using an iframe as a fallback for people without js. Any other suggestions?

Do you have access to any server-side scripting technologies? PHP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Perl, etc...

I'd say the best choice is to get a new job with a more up-to-date work environment

With no server side technologies at your disposal, you're going to be doing EVERYTHING the long and hard way.

GAAAAH

I have access to server-side scripting technologies on other servers, its just this old website is run off an old server and its been asked that I update it. I don't really have access to the server, except to update the contents of the site.
You guys are right though, I should probobly just ask for something to be installed. I did find a semi decent solution, if things don't go my way, I'm sure another noob like me will ask in the future so heres what i did.
First off for non js users I made an html page with the content i needed. and included it through an iframe.

 <div id="frameContainer">
  	<iframe src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.oldposserverIhate.com/sillyworkaround.html"[/URL] height="300" width="130" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>

then for js users, I used javascript to write to the innerHTML of my div frameContainer.

document.getElementById('frameContainer').innerHTML = "wow i have to access to asp, php, coldfusion or jsp :<";

The site looks pretty decent on my currect browsers, I don't even notive the iframe when i view it with js disabled.

Hi

With no server side technologies at your disposal, you're going to be doing EVERYTHING the long and hard way.

I would not say it that way. You can use a text processor like the good old [tt]m4[/tt] or an HTML-oriented one. You can set up a few scripts and generate an average site pretty easily.
