the file.txt path is at the same location as javascript. [web sever]

Answer 1

I don't think you can do that through JavaScript directly, you'll have to do it server-side...

Answer 2

With jQuery, you could just do:

$("#element").load("file.txt");

All you need to do is download the jQuery js file and put it on your webserver, then include it at the top of your page:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>

...this is assuming your file is server side. It's not possible if it's a client-side file you want
