HTML input

i need to read in text from a text file and input it to my current webpage.
i can't seem to come up with the code for it and any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

On the server or on the client's machine?

When you opened your text file did you be sure to save it with the extension as .html?

the file is on the server.

Dunno then.

i can't save it as any other. i have a program that outputs the name of the song that is currently playing into a text file. i need to read that text file into my webpage for all to see what i am listening to.

Load the text file into a hidden <iframe>. Then you can read the value out of the <iframe>. If only the name of a single song is in the file, you could even just make the frame visible and just have it display the text straight.

ex.

<iframe src="myfile.txt" style="display:none;"></iframe>


Make sense?
