How to insert (txt, etc) files into HTML

[venkusalo]

I suspect it is an easy matter once one knows :)
I have an encrypted .js file that I want to load, or embed, or insert into a web page.
How do I call this?
The best I have to date is:
<script>
location.replace("script/***.js");
</script>
But this (obviously) replaces. How to get that ol .js INTO the page?

[Charles]

<script src="some.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>

And see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html.

Thanks for such a speedy reply Charles.
Yes, that is the standard script but what I have is an encrypted file that 'unpacks' when it is written. So, if I just open the file itself in a browser it writes the script to that page.

What i am trying to do is just write the file to the page.
document.write writes the 'content' of the .js but I am trying to load the file itself - which is self writing.

Make sense?

If you want what I think you want, you will need some server side language. I know how to do it in PHP and SSI.

PHP (.php)
<?PHP
include ("yourfile.txt");
?>

SSI (.shtml)
<!--#include file="yourfile.txt"-->

Dear Pyro,
my knowledge of PHP and such is pretty scant

- & anyone

I am enjoying the challenge - each one adds to my limited knowledge - but, I wonder if this enctyption idea is going to cause more trouble than the protection it will provide.

I have added a zip file [insert.zip - 4k] with a few comments.

Dear Dave,

Thanks, but it kind of puts a closed end on the thread, n'est pas?
Is the en-de crypt so easy? Or is it that once the code has been written/displayed it is normal - therefore right clickable, view sourceable?

In IE, location.replace displays the log-in form and view source reveals the still encrypted file. But... NS no likee.

I bumble about my merry way and am happy to drop this approach. Do you have any alternative suggestions?

Dear Dave,

Live and learn...
So, it bends and stretches but can't be relied on for protection huh?

Thanks for the codelet.

I will continue to fish - perhaps in a different pond - VK

Dear Dave,

No, not at all.
It is great fun - I poke about here and there and learn a bit along the way. Most of my web work/play is work and play.

I very much appreciate people like yourself who take the time to ponder the mutterings of digital neophites such as myself. thanks - VK
