Writing using javascipt

Dear friends ,
I tried to write in html page from text file using
"
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function Read()
{
var Scr = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var CTF = Scr .OpenTextFile("C:\\123.txt", 1, true);
data = CTF .ReadAll();
document.write(data);
alert(data);
CTF .Close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="Read()">
</body>
</html>

"

But the contains of text file getting changed , like if there is

"My name is Karimkhan
I love India "

Then it will write like "My name is Karimkhan i love India"

It ignores multiple spaces and new line character , so what should I do to prevent this...IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE <PRE> TAG IN HTML "?

Try the following:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <script type="text/JavaScript"> function Read() { var Scr = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var CTF = Scr .OpenTextFile("C:\\123.txt", 1, true); data = CTF .ReadAll(); document.getElementById("txtFile").value = data; alert(data); CTF .Close(); } </script> </head> <body onLoad="Read()"> <p>The file contents are as follows:</p> <textarea id="txtFile" cols="80" rows="30"> </textarea> </body> </html>

Once the local page loads, the file is read and the contents are placed in the textarea. It is important that you can only be sure that this will work on your local machine in Internet Explorer. Alternatively, you can change the extension of the web page to be HTA so that it will not ask you for permissions every time you open the page.
