ok, your gonna love this,

how do I get text from a normal test file into a html file, if I explain more it may come clear.

I have a page, here I want the user to be able to update the text but he’s a bit of a biff, I want to be able to give him a plain text file to update, he updates the file, I give him a script which uploads the file, his text is changed, sorted.

so, how can I do it?

2

<object width="?" height="?" type=“text/plain” data=“message.txt” border="?" >
</object>

fill in the ? with your prefered choice.

3

replace

      <p class="style11">Mark is a wonderfull</p>
      <p class="style11">careing person who's always</p>
      <p class="style11"> on time &</p>
      <p class="style11">curteous,mrs M </p>

with an include ?

PMM, it works, to a point but is not exactly what I was after

DT, explain some more if your still up,

/edit

foundthis and I’ve got it working, but it looses all the formating, ie any carage returns, any ideas how to fix that? I’m going to try ‘including’ diferent file types
