I tried using the method described at w3 schools but it seems to only work in FireFox
http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax.asp
I used the example provided on the Try It
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").load('test1.txt');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
</body>
</html>
I just set it to run onload instead on after clicking. It did work there but when I make my own page it only works in FireFox.
Edit: Chrome just has security to prevent local file access it works on a server.
If anyone knows how this would work in older IE versions it would be a help
I recommend to take a look at jQuery AJAX function. It can use cache and it’s better then using the “sub-alias”
$.get.
