I need help getting content to appear on other sites

[mebreezy_com]

Okay, I'm writing a script similar to haloscan.com's script.
What they have is a comment script for blogs, but it's a simple popup window. That's not problem, that's just a link to a new window.

The problem is with this... For the link I want it to show like this: "Comments (# of comments)"
I want the # to reflect back to my server, specifically my database, determine how many comments are for that blog and display that number. Sure it would be easy if they have PHP but I dont know that they do, I need it to be universal.

I think I have to do this with Javascript but I wasn't sure. There's some gurus here so I was hoping someone might be able to help regardless.

Any takers on this?

Edit: Eh, to describe better, maybe I'm looking to do something like SSI.

If you want it to be universal <?>, you are probably right. But I'm not sure what you mean by that.

It should be simple enough to grab a number, or a count, from a database query and display it in a window....

Okay after some extensive googling I think I found something and it is as I thought, not PHP. I'm sorry for creating this thread.

It is like SSI but with JavaScript, I think I seen it referenced as CSI (client side includes).

If anyone knows more about this please feel free to help out. lol! I'm still tryin' to get it to work.
