I need that script read external file in write its content to variable. Maybe someone will be able to help me. I have tried do it by myself, but i have failed

I dont believe there is a way to write that in javascript (If I am wrong please correct me) but there are other ways for example with activeX or Java applets.

just enter src attribute in your script tag
like this:
<script type="text/css" language="javascript" src="./myScript.js"></script>

hey, there is a way to read a file on the server using the xmlHttpRequest object, its usage is this

Code: Select all

var xhr
if (ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"))
{
xhr = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
}
else if (ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"))
{
xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"))
}
else {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
}

 xhr.open("GET", "filename.txt",true); 
 xhr.onreadystatechange=function() {
  if (xhr.readyState==4) {
   ****.getElementById("divChange").firstChild.value = (xhr.responseText)
  }
 }
 xhr.send(null)
