If you have sections of your web pages that are frequently updated, such as a table of links, or you have advertising, announcement, or message spots that change, it can be easier (by far) to simply change one file instead of dozens or even hundreds of web pages. Now, you can do such with ease using XML while having no dependance on server-side scripting. That is why I created the JS XML DOCUMENT READER. It can make updating and maintenance much simpler for you.
