HTML/Javascript to access a txt file?

[lickedone]

I have an HTML file that is only being accessed by users of this computer. There is also a text file on this computer that is changed daily. I am looking for a way for the HTML file to display the contents of the text file. I am not able to use any ASP/PHP/CGI. Is there a solution to this problem?

If you simply need to display the text file without any additional formatting, etc. then the easiest way is simply to use an iframe to reference the text file contents:

<iframe src="file.txt" width="150" height="150"></iframe>
