In html, what code would I use to display either html or text found somewhere else?

For example, if I had a .txt file (or html), could I leave the document where it is and yet display (or reference) the information on another site?

Arrrr, ye be needin' some manner of include scripts fer that, matey. Lucky for you, our fine Lissa be havin' just that info on this very site! Have a look, ya scurvy dog!

Is there a way to accomplish the same thing without shtml? I was given a bit of code as follows:


<script language=javascript src=http://www.amerisearch.net/american_minute.asp> </script>


I can use it within html and it displays text from that site on my site. Is there a way to incorporate text or html instead of javascript?

perhaps look for "iframes" to see if that may be a solution for you.

Thank you everyone for your help. I finally figured out what I needed. If you insert the following code
<script language=javascript src=http://www.test.com/test.asp> </script>
into a plain html file, it will work - it just has to be linked to a javascript document to work.

If anyone knows how to make it work with simple html instead of javascript, please let me know.

html cannot insert a second document into itself. the closest it has available is an iframe. apart from that, you need to use a script like javascript or a serverside language like php or ssi.

Can you put javascript into an html document?

yes, as a normal script or as an external one.
most tutorials and books on javascript should describe this.
