Call a file and loop a JS array in side it?

[EchoFool]

Hey

 

 

I'm wondering if there is any way to call a HTML file in JavaScript and also parse a JS array.

 

 

I have a html file which has a table but i want to loop my JS array into that table as rows of data. Is there anyway to do it at all ?

My interpretations:

A. You are wanting to use an html file as a template for inserting data into and then attaching into your current web page.

B. You are wanting to read an html file and extract data from it.

 

For A, have a look at JavaScript templating libraries such as Handlebars.js {http://handlebarsjs.com/} or Moustache.js {https://github.com/janl/mustache.js}.

 

For B, you could create an html entity that isn't attached to the dom.  Load the html file via ajax, and use the file contents as the entity's inner-html.  Then traverse the entity's children to extract the data required.
