Read from Text file

[dbadmin]

Hi,

I am writing a java script which needs to read from a text file and display a date (format mm/dd/yy) in html. Is it achievable?

Thanks,
dbadmin

Where is the text file located? If on the server, then you should use server side scripting or AJAX.

Yep, I'll assume that you need to read a text file from the client's machine (otherwise you'd be using a server side language instead of javascript to do this).

If you're wanting to read a text file from the server then you might want to look into AJAX
