[Javascript] Help with text file

[Chris Tifer]

If you're trying to make something cross platform, I'd suggest doing this
manipulation server-side if at all possible.  What exactly is it you're
doing?

P.S. I'm not sure if those properties would work on a text file. Have never
tried it though.

> Hello
> I'm trying to do some manipulation of data that is distributed as plain
text files. This data is not generated by me and I need to give the user the
flexibility to select the source of the file (URL) so I'm stuck with plain
text files. I'm trying to meake is as cross-platform as possible so I'm
loading the text file in an invisible frame. After searching this list's
archive and all over the internet I haven't been able to find a way to use
the data. I tried 'innerHtml' and 'innerText' without succes. Can anyone
give me some tips or pointers? (the files can be relatively large ~50k).
