Greetings. God no! They are run by (me) before they are placed on the
server. In fact, a local update script gathers up all the files that
changed and accumulates them for a batch upload.
I have close to 350 files, each about 15KB average. 200K hits/month,
about 1.5GB out the door... It works for me, and here's why:
* the files are processed into a personal "look'n'feel"
* they are checked for HTML syntax errors
* they allow me to change just a script to alter all files I have
* they allow for a cental clearinghouse - no "quirks"
* scripts additions add missing functionality to HTML that I
hinted at here - they allow for an unified site with a bit
of "harmony" not found on the web in general...
* lastly, ultimate power.. for better or for worse :-)
Why assume that I run the scripts in real-time? Pardon me saying
that but it's rather rash! (or do I really look that stupid :-)
Take care.
