Text file access from the client

[veeves]

I am looking for a way to send a text file along with the gif files to the client`s browser. I want to access the text file and assign the text to a variable in javascript so I can put it on the page somewhere.

The goal here is to allow the user to ftp some simple text file with time sensitive messages, to the server. Then the user can post notices without having me in this constant loop of updating the page.

Anyone got any ideas?

Ever consider putting it in an Iframe or a layer? That way your file stays external and it is the only thing that would need updating.
