is there a way to have content on an html page read in from an external text file using JavaScript? I though I had seen a script that does this, but can't find it anymore. I have a what's new section that I want my business partners to update, but they don't know html, so I thought I would just have them update a text file.

Thanks

t read external file you will have to resort to someprocedures that are not very widely used as yet.
such as
1. creating your web page entirely with XSL(IE6+, NS6+)

2. importing an xml file into a page and parse it using JavaScript (IE5.5+ only)

3. or use an activex control or Java
