I've taken over a site and need to stick to the same page names for now with .htm extensions.

Is it possible to include a random testimonial (from a set of 12) on each page? I know how to call in a subroutine or file includes in >ASp but not .htm

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Can't help you with the ASP but I use PHP to do this and it might be quite similar.

I have a .txt or .php file with all the testimonials in it - one on each line surrounded by the appropriate HTML markup (e.g. paragraphs, blockquote, cite etc).

In the html page I have: 
           <?
           $fc = join("",file("/scripts/testimonials.php"));
           $fc = "$fc\n"; $spl = split("\n",$fc);
           srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
           $rndnum = (rand()%(count($spl)-1));
           echo $spl[$rndnum];
           ?>

Which basically randomly chooses a line in the php or .txt file and displays it on the html page. To do this on an .html page though I have to change the available addhandler extentions in the Cpanl so that it's basically reading a .php page as a .html. Maybe it'd be something similar for ASP?

There are different javascripts around, like on dyanmicdrive that may do the trick for you. Something like: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxrotate.htm ?
