The problem is that the main page doesn't use an include file of any sort;
it's straight HTML which is frequently updated by hand. I agree that it
would be nice if /index.htm had an include file that contained most of the
content, and if I could convince my boss that it would be the best way to
go, then I'd be set. :) Unfortunately, that's not the route that we've
chosen to go (in fact, I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to convince
people around here that PHP is a much better way to go than straight HTML
for some of these documents). So, if I were using an include file to build
/index.htm, then I would use it in microsite45/index.htm. But since I'm
not, I can't. I've got permission to use document.write in /index.htm, so I
was looking for a solution which would allow /index.htm to remain nothhing
but static HTML (with the exception of some JavaScript).

I hope you don't mind me nagging on this ;) but what do you mean by having
to echo changes into the /minisite directories?
What I meant was, from minisite45/index.htm, include() the same content
include file you use in /index.htm. I'm not seeing why the
/minisite<x>/index.htm pages need to change at all? The only thing that
would change is the content of the include()'d file that /index.htm, and the
minisite/index<x>.htm include.
/index.htm
<html>
<etc etc>
<body...>
<? include "main_include.inc"; ?>
</body>
</html>
main_include.inc:
<some possible html tags>
<? echo "Welcome". ($minisite ? " from $minisite" : "."); ?>
<some possible html tags>
/minisite45/index.htm
<html stuff>
<?
$minisite = 45; /* or even a snip that dynamically gets it from the
script_name */
include "main_include.inc";
?>
