A client recently wanted to display the date and time the site was updated (not the time viewed) on all pages. The software that updated the site wrote a file DateTime.txt containg that info as a simple bit of text. Loading this into Act_Primary.html via:-
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE DataTime.html
worked but meant that EVERY page had to be refreshed every upload.
A workaround that overcame this was:-
The code that wrote DateTime.txt added the following around the text:-
document.write('DATETIME');
where DATETIME is the bit that changes. And the code in Act_Primary becomes:-
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="DateTime.html" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
Voila! No more entire site updates.
