html - Is there any way to read a text file in javascript beside using ActiveX? -
given files (html file, text files, etc) on web, there way read text file , print them in textarea beside using activex?
i've tried this, didn't reach goal:
function getselecteditem(){ var client = new xmlhttprequest(); if(document.codeform.droplist.value == "foo") client.open('get', 'foo.txt'); else if(document.codeform.droplist.value == "bar") client.open('get', 'bar.txt'); client.onreadystatechange = function() { //this displays message in file alert(client.responsetext); //but doesn't. displays "undefined" // document.codeform.source.value = client.reponsetext; } client.send(); } since display alert message file context, believe there way this. (actually contents of files seem come "client.reponsetext", it's data type domstring, not string.)
any advice appreciated. thanks.
use jquery. http://api.jquery.com/jquery.get/
$.get("http://www.whatever.com/foo.txt", null, function(response){ $("#thetextarea").val(response); // thetextarea id of textarea want put data into. });
