okay this is my small dilemma, I'm doing a project from my psych class which is redoing their webpage. Now, the jproblem comes into play because the person who will be changing the webpage after I'm gone knows very little and is basically stuck to the functionality of frontpage. I wanted to know what's the easiest and most simple way to get text from a text file into a webpage, in other words when the page loads in the browser it retrieves text for certain parts from a specific text file. can anyone help?

A few solutions to this. Based on Frontpage, I assume ASP is available.

Create a dynamic ASP page, which sets headers, fonts, and such like before loading the text file. In between the set of format tags and the termination tags, add a statement "" to include that file.

Alternatively you could look up what I call "Dynamic Include" Clicky for more info.

Just a few ideas, lookup "include asp" in google for more info.
Upon the page loading, it will dynamically insert the current contents of the text file, so the text file can be updated and the web page will never even have to be modified.

thank you! that's what I wanted to know. sorry for the late reply though =)
