My webpage is a .asp file.

Is it possible to read a value from external file and store it in a javascript var.


The external file only contains a price (digits and a decimal point).

The filename is price1.asp but can be .txt, .inc, .whatever....

var price1=(199.95);

I want to put the price 199.95 into the external file price1.asp.

This doesn't work, but will help you understand what I want to do.

var price1=(<!--#include file="include/price1.asp"-->);



This is no good either, because I can't store the value in the javascript variable.


<%
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set wfile = fs.OpenTextFile("d:/test.txt")
price1 = wfile.ReadLine

wfile.close
Set wfile=nothing
Set fs=nothing

%>


// This showed the correct value

<%
response.write (price1)
%>

I don't know database, is there another way.

Couldn't you just open that file and read the value to your variable? I don't very good in JS (well, not good at all ) but maybe it is possible to do such a thing? For example this can be easy done in PHP...
