read variable from file

[ark312]

Hello,

I'm using a java-script in a HTML-page. Part of the script is the line:

var limit = 1136 - 1101;

The value 1136 is a counter and changes permanantly. In VB I can write a
routine which prints the actual value to a fule called COUNTER.TXT.

Can I change my JavaScript in such a way that it reads the value of the file
COUNTER.TXT?
Thanks,

Sjoerd

Dat hangt er van af war die file staat.
Staat die op je server,
dan kan je hem [IE only] lezen met:

function getUrl(url) {
var http = new ActiveXObject("microsoft.xmlhttp");
http.open("GET",url,false);
http.send();
return http.responseText;
}
document.write(getUrl('http://www.mijn.nl/COUNTER.TXT') - 1101)
