Yes the file contains plain text.

in that case you could use a hidden iframe and set its location to the file-source ... so the text will be loaded into it. now you may use a function like the following to get the content of the txt-file:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
function get_iframe_content(frame_name) {

    // refer the frame by name and the frame's document

    var doc = window.frames[frame_name].document;

    return doc.firstChild.innerHTML;

}

and set that as the value of the textarea.

kind regards
