Including values from a text file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 06.2005

I’ve got a problem where I need a simple text file that a user can change two simple values and those values are then called by two hidden input fields in an html file.

I can’t seem to get anything that works. Can you help?

Thanks
Jon

@jonwinterauthorOct 07.2005 — How would you use javascript in the text file but keeping it really simple so a user can edit two values i.e. var limit = 1000; var currentlevel = 900;

I guessing a bit here but can you show a working example if this is correct idea?

@CharlesOct 07.2005 — includeFile.js:limit = 1000
currentLevel=100And to call it:<script src="includeFile.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert ([limit, currentLevel])
</script>

@jonwinterauthorOct 07.2005 — Thanks for that. I managed to change the include file to a text file instead of a .js file (users can double click it and edit it in notepad) and just used var limit = 1000; var currentLevel = 100. These values were then called in the html page and written into two hidden input fields. From there everything is now working as I hoped!

Thanks for your guidance and support as I hadn't realised it was so easy to do this! Keep up the good work guys ?)
