atw: How to include another file in an HTML page?

JavaScript gooroos (similar to kangaroos but a lot smarter):

How do you include the contents of another file in an HTML page?

I am stumped.  Neither Google nor all of the various JavaScript sites
yielded an answer to my problem, even after searching for "javascript
urls", "javascript files including", etc.

For example,

...
<body>
<p>Here's my text!</p>
<!-- Somehow include contents of contact_details.txt here -->
</body>
...

The contact_details.txt file contains just this:

<p>
MyName<br />
MyStreet<br />
MyTown<br />
MyStateAndPostcode<br />
MyTelephoneNumber<br />
</p>

So, when I change address, only the contact_details.txt file needs to be
updated, thus automatically updating all pages that somehow include it.

Question is, how DO you include the contents of an external file?

Regards,
Hedley
