Read Contents from a .txt into a webpage

[XicE]

Hi Guys,

i have a wepage that all i want to do is put text over certain parts of it, without having to edit the html every time i open the page.

I want this text to be read from a text file (in same dir) .

What would be the simplest way???

Is it possible to use javascript, or flash or what

Thanks Guys

Hiya,

The easiest way to do this IMHO is with a javascript document.write in an external ".js" file. A ".js" file is called by a "<script src=yourscript.js>" and closed with "</script>" just like a normal script. The .js file itself is plain text and can be used to simply output text (or html) to be written dynamically to a page when used with the javascript document.write function.

You can find this script easily anywhere on the web.

A simple .js file to write some plain text to a page:

<!-- document.write("

Put your text, form, html-markup for image, links, etc.  in here, but no matched parentheses!  We do NOT want to close our script early...

") //-->

PLEASE don't use flash unneccessarily, some (the majority, possibly) of users are still on dialup...

Hi,

As I think the easies way is to create Inline Frame in the page!!

...

I have tested a lot of ActiveXobjects to read/write file in my localhost (I mean in the hard disk only).

But,..

I think there is a way in using JavaScript in this position (for that aim)

....

I will reply to this as soon as I find the answer

BUT, this should only work with JS files (only)
