Get Local .txt File Contents Into Scirpt Array?
Dec 17, 2009
I am working on a project involving the Google Maps api. I have an application that spits out a text file with lat/lng coordinates plus some other info. I'm trying to figure out how to get the data from the local text file into a javascript array that can then be used by the Google Map api to create the map.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I'm fairly certain that there is not a way to do it just with Javascript, but I thought I would ask. If not, any suggestions on how to do it, perhaps with xmlhttprequest and a PHP script? I don't need the text file to actually be saved on the web server, but if that's the only option then I can go that route.

This is a "can I" or "is it possible" question:
If I have one main html file that calls an external JS file that contains only an array (infoArray), know I can do this code...
Now the question...
Instead of 2 different main.html files, to load the different inforArray.js files, can I somehow overwrite the contents of the infoArray
AFTER the information has been loaded from the first external JS file?
I have seen code that adds elements to the <head> section as the page loads,
is there something similar to load/change array information during or after page load?
Or is this something that should be done by having text information in the file and loading with ajax and processing to an array afterward?

I've spent 30 minutes or so googling to find the answer to this question, and I haven't found it. I'd like to use JavaScript to get the contents of a URL on the same domain (locally). For that matter it will be within the same directory on the domain.I was hoping there'd be a simple "getURL" function that would assign the contents of a URL request to a variable. One that isn't terribly platform specific, either. Is there such a thing?I'm creating a script that will perform 3 different searches at my website, and place the results in 3 columns for easy comparison. It's somewhat of a metasearch, extracting similar items from 3 different websites. The local CGI script on my website (the one I'm hoping to call using Javascript) makes the query to the external websites. The problem is that it can take sometimes 5 to 10 seconds to finish all of this, where one site in particular can be fairly slow.
So rather than make the visitor wait 5 to 10 seconds to see anything at all, I thought a good solution would be to have the CGI script display a page quickly, showing that site #1 is being searched (and displaying results once it's finished), then site #2, then site #3. Ideally the results from site #1 would have JS that would trigger the search for site #2, and so on.I've done this before using frames, but I was hoping to avoid having to use frames.I'm not a JS expert, but I know how to use createTextNode to insert the contents of variable within the document.The only thing I need to know how to do is assign the contents of a URL request to a variable.

I have a .js file, we want to make it to load a html file right next to it, both files are on client system. I couldn't find any such examples and some posts talked about JavaScript security issues, I wonder if it is related to what I want.
Someone said .js file is not really JaveScript file, though Microsoft named it 'JavaScript'.
note that I am trying to "call" .html file from the .js file, not embed html code in .js.

I want to change a div content in my page via javascript , the problem is the index.php file is coded and I can't read it , but I could execute some JavaScript codes from somewhere else .
The problem is that the <div> is in the lowest side of the page and my javascript code is above it , so The javascript code runs first and It couldn't find the div because it's not loaded yet my javascript code is something like this :
<script>
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML= "ddd";
</script>
<div id="test">dude</div>
in the example above , it's not working But if I insert the JavaScript below the <div> it's working .
How can I run it in this example ? If the javascript code is above the <div> , how can I change the div's content ?

I'm trying to present a collapsible list if keys which when expanded will have a delete button at the end of it. My problem is that when this code runs, the confirmation alert shows the key name as the last one read from the array for all items. Here's the complete function:

why this code invokes the deleteNote function with the last key name for all notes?

I have web page where user can upload file. He can select which file to upload with standard HTML input of type file. I want to add this feature: when user select some file (e.g. picture, pdf etc.) in file select dialog, I want to add link to selected local file. When user click on it browser(maybe associated application) should open local file so user can review what he selected. I was experimenting with urls with "file" protocol but it works only with html file located on local computer not for one on web server. I found that this is because of security restriction in browsers.

I have set of html pages that are installed locally on machine. I want to make ajax call to local files. In Firefox everything works fine. IE is able to load html pages through ajax call but not able to load xml document.
Chrome doesn't support ajax call locally...and I don't care about it. I need it to work on IE & firefox.

For a project I am working on, I need to retrieve links from html
documents. The easy part is to obtain 'plain' links like <A
HREF="http://site/path/document">, but when those links are
javascript'ized, the only robust solution needs to load the javascript
and dom document representation in the same way that browsers do. For
example, links in the form:
<A HREF="javascript:function_declared_before("arguments"));>
First I though that using spidermonkey (the mozilla javascript
interpreter) should be enough, but in that case, I dont have the
document structure elements (like document, window, document.history,
document.form.element, etc), so I tried parsing the document using a
library to build a tree representation of it, but that leads me to the
same problem again, that is, I have to represent all tree nodes as
javascript entities.
Anybody here have worked on a similar problem? What tools do you
think I should take a look?

I'm busy making a project which needs to be ran locally. It has to work on Firefox only.
I've ran into the problem I can't load local XML files from another directory then the html file is located.
When I try loading XML trough an ajax request with the url "content.xml" everything works fine. As soon as I want the XML to be loaded from another folder, e.g. "../../../content.xml" it doesnt enter my success function.
$.ajax({
cache: "false",
type: "GET",
url: "../../../content.xml?r=" + Math.random(),
