Javascript reading HTML

Posted by tastytrout [send private reply] at July 28, 2002, 04:59:43 PM

I'll be writing JavaScript from a text editor for IE 5.x

I want to parse a HTML file using a javascript fucntion. Writing a parser is not a problem. The problem I have is I can't find a way html document to be read into a javascript function.

(If you're familiar to C/C++, I'm looking for some sort of "infile >>", infile.get() or file stream function.)

Thanks!

You have to create an ActiveX object called TextStream which allows you to access text file from Windows Scripts. Note that you WON'T be able to do it from a web page as Internet Explorer will not want you to access the filesystem.

You might be able to do something with frames.
