Reading HREF values from a text file

ChrisRChamberlain · Jun 20, 2002

Am developing an .htm file to use as a template for the topic files of an HTML Help project.

<A HREF="

TITLE="HTML forum at Tek-Tips.com.">Visit the HTML forum</A>

In the above code example, the web-site address, "

is as yet unknown, but the code is included in the footer of the template .htm file, and thus in every topic file.

Can you effect a global change throughout the HTML Help project, FI, by reading a text file to get the value, "

http://www.tek-tips.com",

instead of hard coding it?

Or is there a better way anyway?

Thanks in anticipation

You could try something like this:

<html>
<body>
Template
<script src="include.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

------------include.js------------------
document.writeln('<A HREF="

http://www.tek-tips.com"

TITLE="HTML forum at Tek-Tips.com.">Visit the HTML forum</A>');
