loading external text from .txt to a html file

Question

I know how to load external text from a .txt file using

and javascript

 $(\"#text\").l         


        

Answer 1

To get the text from only a paragraph from the file, try this:
HTML:

<div id="tempDiv" style="display: none;"></div>
<p id="text"></p>

JQuery:

 var tempDiv = $('#tempDiv');
 tempDiv.load("pathToFile/content.txt");
 var html = tempDiv.find('#theParagraphId').html();
 $('#text').html(html);
