Easy way:

<textarea name="foo"><?php
$lines = ("mydata.csv");
foreach ($lines as $l)
printf("%s\n", htmlspecialchars($l));
?></textarea>

No: you'll either need a server-side script, like PHP, or to use AJAX
techniques. Server-side is preferable as it will be vastly more reliable,
but it does mean that your server needs to support that scripting language.
