how can i "paste" text from a .txt file in a directory to a html page? (like the variables in flash)

i've done it before but i cant find out how to

any help thoroughly apriciated !

(Your sig messes up the layout of the forums.)

If you have a text file that you need to make an html file, just choose Save As... and then save it as an .html file. I'm not sure about the Flash you're talking about though - maybe you're asking about something a little bit more difficult than I'm explaining.

(hope sig fixed)

more complicated...

i need some code eg.

< script src=some_text.txt type=insert >< /script >

and what ever is in "some_text.txt" is "pasted" where the < script > for it was.

that way i can make a footer to a page and if i need to change some text in it, i dont have to edit EVERY page.

thanks

lol your sig's fixed now but with that code you've screwed up this post. I'm using the quick reply box and its actually inside your post. you dont have a sig on this one and theres no footer for this message. kinda weird.

regarding your question - no idea.

tom

lol sorry i didnt realise it's because i used < SCRIPT >

i thort it didnt actually do that only when usin BB wiv [] brackets lol oh well.

still no idea?

I've wanted to learn how to do that, too.

This is how I would do it. Put your include stuff in a .js file and use document.write("HTML code goes here! Remember to escape double quotes with backslahses e.g. \""); to print your HTML code. Then wherever you want to include the contents of the newly created .js file, put the following:

<script language="javascript" src="include.js"></script>

Edit: Removed smily

*kisses* oh THANK YOU!!!!

this is soooo F*CKIN much easier than the p*ice of Sh*t i was using!!!

thanks :D:D:D

hey just one question...

would using that code be quicker (loading) and cleaner (no whiteness) than using an iframe (which i am doing now) ?


thankie 'oo

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure which would be faster loading. However, I think the IFRAME would because it doesn't have to parse the JavaScript code. Which is like a split second. I would stick with the JavaScript though, because it's much more compatible with other browsers. But its your choice.
