Salt (SSI Alternative) will extract the content of a specified file on your server, or another, (CGI, java, html, text, javascript, etc.) and paste it anywhere you want using a simple Javascript tag. It not only does what SSI can (for servers that don't have it), but it can grab contents from any web site. That's something you just can't do with SSI. We have several sites and extract information from one to place on another. We also use the same script for each of the sites header, footer and navigation links. We use it for banner advertising, news, scripture display and more. There are literally 101 uses of this script.
It's also a very handy script if you have many pages and need to change the header on each page. With SALT, all you have to do is change one file and you're done.
