electrochemistry - Why use a salt bridge at all in an electrochemical cell?



I was reading about electrochemical cells and I really don't understand why a salt bridge is needed. Can't you just combine the solutions? I've found a lot of webpages explaining electrochemical cells but strangely enough none of them seem to find this important enough to explain. All thoughts appreciated :)
