Dec 26, 2010
I have a javascript that has a string variable and is hardcoded example: var text = "A,1,2,3";However, i want to read this string from a text file from the server. (The text file is generated using PHP). How to i get this done?I have seen codes on other pages which deal with this topic. Below is an example of the code

Is there a way for JavaScript to read a text file from a server? Any APIs in HTML5 letting you do that? I would like to build a WebGL object viewer but the files should be read from the server.

I have been successfully using the following "myAjax" function to load text file information from the server.
ajax.js:
After I load the text file, I store the text "records" into an array by doing something like this:
Where the '}' character is my record delimiter. It could just as easily be ' ' or ' ' or the like.
Again, I am not having any problems doing it this way as it suits my current needs.
Now the question(s)
1. Does the call to read the text data from the external file always read in the entire contents or can I read one line or delimited record at a time and store it to the array directly without the text storage?
2. If the text is always read completely (my suspicion), can I safely delete the "TextInformation" after I convert to the array format? Is there any memory penalty for doing it this way as the text information can be somewhat lengthly and I don't like the idea of having doubled memory usage when I only need the information in array format anyway?
This is the idea I am considering, but I don't know if there are drawback to this method of if there is a better way to accomplish the task.
ajax.js:

I have now learned how to write to and read from .txt files on my server via php, but is it possible to do this with JavaScript? Like that JavaScript writes to the .txt file every second without needing the user to refresh the page to write or read .txt file (with php). 2: Do the same thing with ActionScript 2/3.

I'm using a java-script in a HTML-page. Part of the script is the line:
var limit = 1136 - 1101;
The value 1136 is a counter and changes permanantly. In VB I can write a
routine which prints the actual value to a fule called COUNTER.TXT.
Can I change my JavaScript in such a way that it reads the value of the file
COUNTER.TXT?

Im writing client-side javascript and I want to do a server side include. There are many server files but only one will be included. These files contain peoples names and phone numbers. This info is packaged as a line of javascript but I can change that packaging if necessary.
The file name to include is being passed as a url parameter: [url]
I know how to parse the url string and stuff the ID number into a javascript variable.
I set <ICODE> foo = "/people/12345.html" </ICODE> and tried <ICODE><!--#include virtual="${foo}" --> </ICODE>
but this did not work.
Is there a way to do this with javascript given that the name of the file I wish to include is contained in a variable? If not, what is the usual way of getting the data in the server file into my client-side javascript?

I have to following piece of code:
var myarray = new Array();
$.ajax({
url: 'http://distantserver.net/path/script',
dataType: "jsonp",
data: {
[Code]...
It's a cross-domain request. The first console.log() debug message prints the desired result, the second doesn't. It seems that the variable myarray has its scope limited to the success-callback. How do I get the data out of the success-callback?

I have some Javascript which says this:
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:

Is it possible to read text from a file and then place it into a div using javascript. I read something on the Internet that I would need to have a server side language such as php or perl to do that. Is that true and if so why is that.

I am very new to javascript and programming and I need a little direction. I have working a javascript that reads the value of radio buttons and writes them to a text file. My code is at [URL]. The text file has the following format:
Name|Email|Location|Comment|5|5|5|3|2|1|4|5|3|2|0
Name2|Email2|Location2|Comment2|1|3|0|3|2|0|2|5|1|2|3
What I need to do is have javascript read the text file (c: estfile.txt) and put each section of information (name, comments, numbers, etc.) into an array. Then, add the number from each columns up. For example, the first number from Name and the first number from Name1 is 5 +1 = 6. This sum is then added to another array that can be printed on the screen. I know this is a lot of information.

Ok, so I've built a member search using ajax to change the results each time a filter is changed. It works great, except one minor issue that I'm struggling with...I just can't specify dynamically in the parent file that linkclass$id opens linkclasscontent$id as I don't know of any way to pass that $id variable back over to the parent.

I have this code:
var dataString = $.toJSON(data);
$.post(url, {dataValues: dataString}, function(res){
$('#secretIFrame').attr('src', url);
$('#secretIFrame').html(res);
});
Problem is, I can't access dataValues at the server side once I assign this same URL to the iframe.Is there any other way to POST JSON value through form submission without ajax? or any other way out, I am trying to download file that is based on some parameters and isn't a direct download link.

I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
