I have a dynamic text field that I want to fill with the contents of an htm file. I need to do this because I want the text displayed on the screen to be different depending on the 'product' the viewer has selected to see. It is not a different image (picture), it is a different description (text).

You can either place some (calculated)
value into a dynamic layer or into
a form-field. But for Javascript to read
a complete html-file (all code
from <html> to </html>) is impossible.
So, assuming you want to place a calculation
into a form field, try something like this.
somewhere in body:
<form name="myform">
<input name="myinput">
</form><br>
<a href="Javascript:calculate()">go</a>
and somewhere in your Javascript:
function calculate()
{
var myvalue;
myvalue = (3 * 6);
document.myform.myinput.value = myvalue;
}
I typed the above without testing it first,
but I supposed you can work it all out now...
Good luck,
