I don't think that's possible. For security reasons, Java and JavaScript
aren't allowed to access anything outside of their domain. I think the
only solution is an IFRAME, like Dennis suggested. In that case you'd
just have to put

  <iframe src="http://www.nerd-boy.net/counter/graeme" frameborder="0"
          width=100 height=40 scrolling="no">
    Error   <!-- "Error" shown when nerd-boy.net is down -->
  </iframe>

or something like it somewhere on your page. The URL would just be a
PHP page that shows a higher number each time it's accessed.

Some website claimed that you could also use <OBJECT> to include an
HTML file in another, but I couldn't get their example to work, so
obviously it doesn't work in all browsers. That's probably true for
<IFRAME> as well, so you might want to do this:

  <iframe src="http://www.nerd-boy.net/counter/graeme" frameborder="0"
          width="100" height="40" scrolling="no">
    <object data="http://www.nerd-boy.net/counter/graeme">
      Error   <!-- "Error" shown when nerd-boy.net is down -->
    </object>
  </iframe>

That way, if a browser doesn't support <IFRAME>, it tries to use the
<OBJECT> code instead.
