Reading from a txt file

[achat]

I have an intranet site which has a news ticker. ie a scrolling bar which displays the text i have written in the javascript. Each time there is a change in content i have to open this code and change it. I would like to give some of my users a way to input this info. Can i read from a txt file and displayit. how do i do it. is there any other way?

You can't do file access with client-side Javascript. You'll need to use server-side Javascript, PHP, ASP, or another server-side language to read the file. What languages does your server support?

whats server side javascript. I have codes running in ASP also.

Server-side Javascript is a form of JS that is compiled and then executed on a server, similar to Java. ASP would be suitable for what you need to do, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with it - you could try posting a question in the ASP forum.
