Get infomation form .txt file

[chrisboots]

Back again, Firstly not to sure if this is possible with javascript but ill ask anyway

I want to display the contents of a text file onto a few of my pages. The information in the file will change quite a bit, so it would be easier to edit one file rather then all of them, Is what I want to do possible with javascript? or could someone point me in the right direction of how.


thanks

it is only really possible with an AJAX request, something like the below...

function getData(callback) {
url="data.txt"
var txtFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
	txtFile.onreadystatechange = function() {
   if (txtFile.readyState == 4) {
     callback(txtFile, txtFile.status);
   }
 };
txtFile.open("GET", url, true); 
txtFile.send(null);
}

getData(function(data) {		
document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = data.responseText;
});

Thanks you very much, I'll have a look into doing this.
