SharePoint is my hammer and everything looks like a nail.

In our setup, there are frequent changes that get requested that should apply to all sites. As these sites cross site collections, each one has a custom master page although it's the same master page for all sites. In order to make these changes easier, I created a .js file containing document.writes to display my HTML code: document.write('<div class="SiteTitle"><a href="/">(Acronym for title which will change next week)</a></div>'); Any HTML code can go in there, but SharePoint code like this cannot: <SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" NavigateUrl="~sitecollection/"> <SharePoint:SiteLogoImage  LogoImageUrl=" http://sharepoint.name/SiteAssets/MasterPage%20Assets/sitelogoimage.png " runat="server"/>  </SharePoint:SPLinkButton> The SharePoint tags are executed server side while the js is client side code.
