I have this code to get the contents of an external html file and display it on the current page...

<script type="text/javascript">

function HttpRequest(url){
var pageRequest = false //variable to hold ajax object
/*@cc_on
   @if (@_jscript_version >= 5)
      try {
      pageRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
      }
      catch (e){
         try {
         pageRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
         }
         catch (e2){
         pageRequest = false
         }
      }
   @end
@*/

if (!pageRequest && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined')
   pageRequest = new XMLHttpRequest()

if (pageRequest){ //if pageRequest is not false
   pageRequest.open('GET', url, false) //get page synchronously 
   pageRequest.send(null)
   embedpage(pageRequest)
   }
}

function embedpage(request){
//if viewing page offline or the document was successfully retrieved online (status code=2000)
if (window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1 || request.status==200)
   document.write(request.responseText)
}

HttpRequest("getfrom.html")

</script>

 

This is the external html page

<HTML>
<HEAD>

</HEAD>

<BODY>
<P>hello there!</P>
<P id="upcoming">upcoming text</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

 

I need the current page to only retrieve the contents of the "upcoming" paragraph. Iv been fooling around with it but can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

 

thanx
