configuration file read

[rtnMichael]

Hey guys,
I want to read a config file to populate data fields in an ASP form. How do I read the file and send the information to the form? Is that even possible in Javascript? If not, then how would be the best way to do it?

Thanks
Mike

You could write the configfile out as a javascript snippet on the server.

Then include that JS file which will create the config variables and make them accessible to javascript

If you want to read an arbitrary config file on the server that is not javascript based (like a webserver config or something ) javascript won't help you, use some serverside language that ASP can access.
