brianlange Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I put the code on my server and it works fine. If I update the text file the changes are displayed. http://gonavygolf.com/test15.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/224305-open-a-text-file-using-javascript/#findComment-1159012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
