A page on the server?
Kind of.
You can either use the xmlhttprequest object or you can use dynamic
javascript that gets its source from a sever-side process. That process would
check for the file and return the proper script.
Though if you're using server-side scripting, you might as well use it for
all of it, not just part of it, in this case.
