Question

I’m new in HTML5 programming. I’m porting my mobile games to HTML5. I have lots of text files which are located on server’s folders, so I’d like to read a file from known url and I don’t know how to do it. I found a tutorial but there are the file reads from the local folder: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/

Would you mind provide me an example how to read a serverside file from known url in the simplest way?

Thanks and peace to all!
