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

here's a basic something i wrote to put in different content depending
on the browser. it's fairly old, so you might want to look up
"document.write" to make sure it hasn't changed/improved.



<script language="javascript">
<!--
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
   document.write('<frameset rows="50,*" frameborder="no"
border=0><frame src="title.html" name="title" scrolling="no"
noresize><frameset cols="230,*"><frame src="sidebar_ie.html"
name="sidebar" scrolling="auto" noresize><frame src="intro.html"
name="content" scrolling="auto" noresize></frameset></frameset>');

if (navigator.appName == "Opera")
   document.write('<frameset rows="50,*" frameborder="no"
border=0><frame src="title.html" name="title" scrolling="no"
noresize><frameset cols="240,*"><frame src="sidebar_opera.html"
name="sidebar" scrolling="auto" noresize><frame src="intro.html"
name="content" scrolling="auto" noresize></frameset></frameset>');
else
   document.write('<frameset rows="50,*" frameborder="no"
border=0><frame src="title.html" name="title" scrolling="no"
noresize><frameset cols="240,*"><frame src="sidebar_ns.html"
name="sidebar" scrolling="auto" noresize><frame src="intro.html"
name="content" scrolling="auto" noresize></frameset></frameset>');
// -->
</script>

it's been a (long) while, but i think it might be a "write" command, or
something of that ilk. i'll see if i can swipe it off a site i wrote a
long time ago.

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

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
