Hi

Either you use a SSI or you can do it with a Javascript

In case you want to use SSI (Server Side Include)



Not all web servers are allowing this though.


As for the Javascript option I'd suggest to use mootools (mootools.net)

Something like this will work

window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var url = "/file.txt";
new Ajax(url, {
method: 'get',
update: $('div.text')
}).request();
});

where div.text is the destination of the text you want to include



Or whatever you want to use.

Hope that helps.
