Sharing content across sites

Hi;

We're trying to figure out a way to share common page
content (usually flat html with hyperlinks, tables, etc.)
across three different intranet sites.

Nothing we've tried works: Server-side includes don't
work across sites, IFRAMES don't inherit each site's
unique page/font styles, and converting the html content
to JavaScript files (a simple translation of each line of
html that is then document.writ(ten), and then calling it
into the page) causes more behind-the-scenes maintenance
than just plainly maintaining the three sites separately.

Because the sites have different formatting (mainly font
size and bullet and heading styles), none of these file-
sharing attempts seems worthwhile.

Is there a straightforward way to pull shared <body>
information into pages across sites that also inherits the
local page's inherent styles?

Thanks,
Dave
 
There really is no easy way to do this, one way is to using XML.

The approach I use is to have all of the sites in a single web, and then use
ASP determine which content is loaded based on the domain requested, this
includes specifying the fonts, colors, images, what page get included, etc.

Example of this is:

http://www.ycoln-design.com
and
http://www.ecom-data.com
which share the same web space / IP address
