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.

All i want to do is simply read from a text file.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using ActiveXObject to read a text file using javascrilpt, it is working in IE but when i use in other browsers, it is not working. Code which I have written:
var fText;
var location = "D:\a.txt";
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var tempFile = fso.OpenTextFile(location, 1);
while(tempFile.AtEndOfStream!=true) {
fText = tempFile.ReadLine();
}
The above code is working in IE but not working in other browsers.
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.
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.

txtFile.open("GET", "http://my.remote.url/myremotefile.txt", true);

I am currently working on an announcements portlet for a dashboard that my team is creating. What is desired is to be able to have this portlet access a stored text file (file can be edited so content is subject to change) that will have all the information needed for these announcements. The JavaScript will then write it into a html file. I am a novice at html, and javascript;
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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:
I have a bar which dropdownbox so transparant, in a way that I could hardly read its text because its overlap my content text and pictures.
But its order superseed the side bar box. I could clearly read its text on the side but hardly read its text on the middle. I am using jquery which I copy from a tutorial video.
What might be the problem? I would like the text could be clearly read in the navigation bar in order word it suppose to be above the content text when I open the navigation drop down box.

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?
I can read text files with scriptableinputstream.read(). But it is not

I have a project that I need to read some data from an XML file.
Something like:
However, since JS is a client side script so it can't read from client side, is there any alternate way to do this? I am thinking to create a "Data" class, and many "Data" objects, is this an elegant way to do it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form like this:
Code:
<input type="text" id="forename" />
<input type="text" id="surname" />
<input type="file" id="myfile" />
The first two fields obviously contain text data, and the last is a file upload field.I can get the values of the first two fields in JavaScript easily by using:
Code:
var forename = document.getElementById("forename").value;
var surname = document.getElementById("forename").value;
But I don't have a clue how to get the contents of the file uploaded.
If I use:
Code:
var myfile = document.getElementById("myfile").value;
That simply returns the filename of the file, but I want the actual data in the file!Now I realise that the data probably isn't even accessed from the users hd until the form is submitted properly and sent to a server-side script (which I'm not doing), so I probably need a hackish method to make the browser send the contents to the JS function rather than as an extra 'package' to the server.
I need to read a files contents to an array so that i can check which lines of the file i need to write back. im not very good with arrays and haven't had any luck so far.
