Can this be done?

TMX

Is it possible to do something similar to a php include() statement, in pure html?

I.e. I have two webhosts, one has php, the other does not. I have a counter on one host, the site on the other.

I want the counter to appear inline on the main page. Any ideas?

BTW, the obvious solution isto move hosts, but this is impossible, and there is no way around this on heaven or earth.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, it's possible.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, bu that wasn't quite the answer I was looking for.

What I meant was, how?

(i suppose I should have been more specific)

Which has the PHP? The one with the counter, or the site?

ssi? rss? xhtml? xml?

The counter is on the host with the PHP.

PHP 4, No ssl, HTML 4.01 standard, xml isn't a real language, never heard of rss.

xml isn't a real language

Quite the opposite, it is what you will have to learn for new well specced webpages when XHTML comes on the block

never heard of rss

RSS is a dynamic file that is accessed from a remote server. It has hints of XML (due to it's strict structure). One main use is including an RSS feed from a news site on your page, it then updates your page when the remote RSS is updated. I am sure a similar solution could be created with your counter. One thing, I don't know the specific syntax for RSS so I can't help you.

A way round this problem (if you are not bothered in losing your own counter) is to use a remotely served counter, which would probably be based on Java or JScript which would work without the need for Server Side stuff. I think Bravent offer such tools.

XML is not a true language, in that it does nothing. It has no commands, only syntax.

The existing solution is a ultimatecounter.com counter, and to make the site look proffesional(ish) we are trying to get away from it.

I'll look up rss, as that sounds as if it could be what I need.

I won't mark the thread as resolved though, as if possible, i would like a pure html solution.

Thanks for your help.

You mean not a true programming language - XML is a language, but so is HTML.
