@KorSep 14.2010 — You may use AJAX and a JSON parser code. See:

@rnd_meSep 15.2010 — if you put a word in front of the JSON, and wrap it in parens, you can load the file simply by point a script tag's .src property at the url of the json file.

this pattern is called jsonp, and it works in every browser with minimal code, no ajax required.

Success!
