Question

I have an html paragraph (inside a div) in which I want to display a simple fixed text. The text is a bit long so I’d rather the text will be in a seperate txt file.
something like

<div><p txt=file.txt></p></div>

Can I do something like that?

Answer 1

It can be done with HTML <embed> or <object> tags, Javascript, or PHP/ASP/other back-end languages.

PHP (as example of server-side language) is the the way I’ve always done it:

<div><p><?php include('myFile.txt'); ?></p></div>

To use this (if you’re unfamiliar with PHP), you can:

1) check if you have php on your server

2) change the file extension of your .html file to .php

3) paste the code from my PHP example somewhere in the body of your newly-renamed PHP file
