    Am I right?:

    I think it isn't possible untill now to put data on a webpage which is stored in another file in the same website.

    I mean, the FileObjectSystem does not work on client side (for good reasons) and i think the same counts for databinding components.

    I think i have a problem since my internet provider doesn't alow scripts running on the server.

    You really dont want to use javascript do this, it is very rare to see server side java script, unless it is an active server page.

    I good way to this would be to use perl or c, to create a cgi program to pull data in from a flat file and create a web page which displays it.

    As to what your isp allows to be run on their servers is an unknown. You could try looking up on their web site for cgi, or try emailing them.

    Almost all web servers will allow you to run scripts. You just need to contact them. You might have to have them in a certain folder that has the permissions required to read and write to files. It isn't that hard for them to allow you to post and run scripts, they just need to implement it for you. I would write them and ask how you can do it.

    Now, they could have limitations, like no ASP, or only certain CGI scripts will they allow.

    Sweet talk them...usually you can get what you want.
