[Javascript] getting text from another page

[Rees, Mark (TWIi London)]

Hello

You can use the file system object (asp) to go through the file and grab the
necessary text using a regular expression or similar. XMLHTTP would be
another possibility, have a look at Microsoft's site for more detail.
There's not much to do with Javascript in that lot though as what you need
to do must happen on the server.

Cheers

hair)

Hi there.

I need to grab some text from one HTML page and put it on another.

The text conveniently sits inbetween some tags called <!-- 
lymmtemp --> <!-- lymmtempend -->

How do I go about getting this text on another html page?

( the text I need is a temperature reading which is shown here: 
http://www.lymm.net/webcam/temperature.html )

Thanks.

James
