Perhaps you meant:

<headshould be finished here. W3 requires a doctype declaration and
a page title, too.
<body onload ="init();">
* * * * <did = 'hi'>
* * * * </d>
Perhaps you meant:
<div="hi">
</div>
</body>
</html>
The open-method can't be used here. XMLHttpRequest is meant for that
purpose.
Putting it all together:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xhr;
function init() {
xhr = null;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
xhr = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
}
if (xhr != null) {
xhr.onreadystatechange = state_Change;
xhr.open('GET', 'Hello.html', true);
xhr.send(null);
}
else {
alert('Your browser does not support XMLHttpRequest.');
}
}
function state_Change() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
document.getElementById('hi').innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
}
else {
alert('Problem retrieving data:' + xhr.statusText);
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<div id="hi"></div>
</body>
</html>
But there is an important objection! The content of the <divis now
actually a full HTML-page inside another one. Though browsers might be
"forgiving", it's still invalid and quite dangerous design. The
following variant is more healthy:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init() {
frames['hi'].location = 'Hello.html';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<iframe name="hi"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps,
