This is exactly what I do to generate my pages. My provider doesn't allow
server side scripting, so I used clientscript to generate the content that
is similar to all pages.
In my site the menu's on both sides in generated from script and all
pictures are done using script.
For example this page:
http://members.brabant.chello.nl/~f.buiting/lego/b.html
has a <script> tag at the top, the script basically uses document.writes()
that generates this: <table><tr><td>-left menu items-</td><td>. The <script>
tag on the bottom generates: </td><td>-menu right-</td></tr></table>.
The reason I use this technique is I write my HTML by hand so I want the
code to be tidy, the menu is a lot of code that reduces the readability of
the actual content's source AND if I want to change the menu, I only need to
change one file.
I also have functions to display items on my page that I want to have the
same layout over the whole site like the images. In the example above
(line162), I use a javascript function that generates a little piece of HTML
code with the parameters URL to picture, TargetUrl when clicked on and the
Comment text.
The major downside to this technique is that reader's browser has javascript
enabled... In non-JS browsers the body is still readable and formatted
correctly but the menus will not appear
