pleek Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
