    I'm rather new to this and I haven't seen this technique implemented, so I'm wondering if its common and/or if it will present any problems:

    In a file named topcode.txt (in the same directory as index.html)
    <a href="page.html" title="Page">
<img src="banner.jpg" width="900" height="130" alt="Welcome" />
</a>
    Code (markup):
    In index.html:
    <body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var topcode = new XMLHttpRequest();
var vURL  = "http://"+self.location.hostname+"/topcode.txt";
topcode.open("GET",vURL,false);
topcode.setRequestHeader("User-Agent",navigator.userAgent);
topcode.send(null);

// write in code pulled from "topcode.txt"
document.write(topcode.responseText);
</script>
</body>
    Code (markup):
    Thanks for any feedback!

    That "loading" proccess is known as Ajax and it is fairly common. It's mainly used to send and receive data without having to direct to a new page.
