    really simple ajax question, unreloved

    I need to get a string from the web (a file, in this case html, but I need other strings too so don't just tell me how to load the html directly to a frame) and load it into a javascript var. I just cannot figure this out. This is my current attempt http://mysite.verizon.net/res8szeo/pv/default.htm. can anyone guid me in the right direction?

    Re: really simple ajax.

    There is no simple way to do this as AJAX requires the file you are pulling to be well formed... that's the XML part, if your HTML page has any broken or improperly nested tags the whole file itself wouldn't pull down effectively... what I would do is garb the file and search for the string in the file, then write a new file that has well formed HTML in it with the string you are looking to pull into your site with AJAX, then pull that file in.

    Hope this helps,
