Is there a way to read the content of an external .txt file, and assign it to a var?

You can use any plain ASCII file so long as the content is correctly syntaxed javascript.

for example:
wib.txt:

var message = "hello world";


myPage.html:

<html>
<script src="wib.txt"></script>
<script>
alert( message );
</script>
</html>


hope this helps,

What if .txt file contains only data? Like this:

wib.txt

code

Hello world



How to code html then?

You could try innerText or innerHTML method


<html>
<script src="wib.txt"></script>
<script>
oDiv.innerText=message
</script>
</html>




<div id="oDIV"></div>
