Can you read a file and import some text from it?

[Placido]

I'm trying to figured out if you can read an external file, grab some info from it and import this info in a form element...

Any help will be appreciated

Read what I wrote here: thread215-376624

Change the function I wrote there to this:

function put(content) {
document.formName.fieldName = content;
}

Do the file need to have the .js extension?

Yes it is, I wrote there about it.
It is the only valid format for external file with scripts attached to your webpage.

is there any other script I can use to grab info from a different extension file?
