InnerHTML problem

**shunt** · May 2nd, 2002, 06:16 AM

Hi,

I have an html page which has a div tag. I can use the innerhtml property to change the text between the two tags. But how can I use java script to get the html from another file, such as an include or an asp file?

Can I call an asp file from javascript and print the output to the innerhtml property?

Please help, project might depend on it!

You cant read the content of another file using client-side javascript. The only way to do it is to use either a server-side language or something like an IFrame or ILayer (not advised).

I am using javascript client side and vb server side. But how do I call the asp from the client side script and get html back without replacing the current page? I would like to use the returned html in a div tag using the innerhtml property.

You might be able to use Remote Scripting to do this

I see that remote scripting is not recommended. Do you have any information about SOAP?

I don't know anything about it, but I've been curious.

I only know little bits of it as I've used it briefly with XML.

W3Schools has a good introduction or guide
