function getFile(filename)
{ oxmlhttp = null;
try
{ oxmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
oxmlhttp.overrideMimeType("text/xml");
}
catch(e)
{ try
{ oxmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e)
{ return null;
}
}
if(!oxmlhttp) return null;
try
{ oxmlhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
oxmlhttp.send(null);
}
catch(e)
{ return null;
}
return oxmlhttp.responseText;
}
function returns file content as text string.
beware of x-domain scripting restrictions.
