 * First of all, I know it can be done, but I have no idea how to do it.
 * I have a mouseover javascript in my header template that allows the following
   nifty little display – see [http://www.gpc-iphc.org/?page_id=4](http://www.gpc-iphc.org/?page_id=4)
   and mouseover one of the links available.
 * Here’s what I need. I want to have the array separate and outside the header.
   php file, so I don’t have to search everywhere to update it. I also need to know
   how I call that array information from back within the header.php file.
 * And if anyone knows how to autopopulate the html links that activate the script/
   array, that would be cool, too. But just the call function is all I need for 
   now. I can hardcode the links.
 * Thanks ppl!

 * Put the text of those links in some other file, call it jslinks.php, for example.
   Just the messages[x]=… stuff. Or, well, any piece of it you want, really, just
   move it to the other file.
 * Then, in your header.php or wherever you want it to be, do this:
    `<?php include("
   jslinks.php"); ?>`
 * This pulls in that file’s contents right into the place where you put the include.
   Pretty straightforward, really.
