Displaying text from a document in a slide show

gns100 · Oct 17, 2003

I'm trying to transfer the text in a document which is in a function to the <body> section of the code to be displayed in a slide show. I was able to transfer a string but I want to replace the string with a number of text files (e.g. myText_1.txt to go with the first slide etc.). The code below displays the document location and not the document itself.

The relevant part is near the bottom of the code.

Anyone out there have any ideas? I think it should be straightforward but so far have had no success.

Thanks

Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>none</title>

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot;>
<!-- Hide from browsers that do not support JavaScript

var timerId = setInterval(&quot;timedPhoto()&quot;, 2*1000)
last = 4

var viewRandom = 0
var viewCycle = 10
var photoNum = 0

// -->
</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor=&quot;#FF9900&quot;>

<table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border-collapse: collapse&quot; bordercolor=&quot;#111111&quot; width=&quot;579&quot; height=&quot;158&quot;>
