This might be impossible....

Is there a way to use javascript (or other languages) to change live content on a web page? Let me be much more specific.Loo at this code snippet:

<div class="threecolbox_1E87CDB"><img src="images/image_01.jpg" width="172" height="172" style="position: relative; top:0px;" alt="topleft"/><br/><div class="nav1">	<br/><!--#include virtual="left.txt" --></div>				</div>

This is part of a large code here www.kovo.ca/1/homeb.shtmlIs there a way to change the "left.txt" say by clicking a link on the same page?This way I dont have to resort to frames....And of course if it does change the page automatically updates the content

Change the code you posted to THAT

<div class="threecolbox_1E87CDB"><img src="images/image_01.jpg" width="172" height="172" style="position: relative; top:0px;" alt="topleft"/><br/><div class="nav1">	<br/><div id="conts"><!--#include virtual="left.txt" --></div></div>				</div>

And add this to whatever javascript file you have:

function createRequestObject() {	var ro;	var browser = navigator.appName;	if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){		ro = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");	}else{		ro = new XMLHttpRequest();	}	return ro;}var change=createRequestObject();function clicker(filename){change.open('get',filename);change.onreadystatechange = handleFile;change.send(null);}function handleFile(){if(change.readyState ==4){ document.getElementById("conts").innerHTML=change.responseText }}

And also, dont use TXT files, use HTML or PHP pages.(ie save the files as .html or .php or even .htm if you want.

Wow thank you.So say I want someone to click a link on the page, how would I call this script and how would it know what file to go to.Say its left.txt and I want someone to click a link so it changes to right.txt. How would that look? Im a noob at this, and so far youve been a great help to me.

<a href="java script:clicker('left.txt');">Left.txt</a>
