Using InnerHTML to include External Text


Jon JC

Recommended Posts

Hi,I want to include an external text (or .js/.html) file into a specific section of an HTML page. This is what I have right now:<script type="text/javascript">function changeText(){var cell=document.getElementById('textLocation').rows[0].cellscell[0].innerHTML="<script src=\"ExternalText.js\"></script>"}</script>This obviously does not work. I think it is because the <srcipt> tag does not support nested <script> tags. Any ideas?JC

You can't do this with just plain javascript. You would need AJAX or server side scripting code (SSI, or server side includes) Check out the AJAX section of the W3Schools page.
