[javascript] How to read a text file from server using JavaScript?

Loading that giant blob of data is not a great plan, but if you must, here's the outline of how you might do it using jQuery's $.ajax() function.

<html><head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
getTxt = function (){

  $.ajax({
    url:'text.txt',
    success: function (data){
      //parse your data here
      //you can split into lines using data.split('\n') 
      //an use regex functions to effectively parse it
    }
  });
}
</script>
</head><body>
  <button type="button" id="btnGetTxt" onclick="getTxt()">Get Text</button>
</body></html>
