Grabbing text from a file
Hi I have a webform and it has three radio buttons. The buttons are labelled 1, 2 and 3. Only one can be selected at once. In the same folder as I keep the htm file I have three text files they are named 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt, the contents of these change from time to time. What i would like to do is be able to click on a radio button and then have the contents of the corresponding text file fill in a textarea box.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks Rob

Re: Grabbing text from a file
I am thinking this is not actually possible BUT-
I arent using this on the internet I am using it on my own PC, so I dont mind putting the text in .js files instead - Is it then possible to reference the text in these and do as i mention in my first post? Thanks,

Re: Grabbing text from a file
sure it's possible. You'll want to look into AJAX. I prefer Mootools. The beta is pretty stable, and has much better documentation.
