Reading contents of a text file using JavaScript

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.norwoodbaptistchurchri.org

I have uploaded a text file (LastService.txt) and I am now trying to read the contents of it using JavaScript. 

Here is a snippet of code.  I get an error because JavaScript doesn't find the page.  I commented everything else out so I believe I don't have the right path to the text file.

<script type="text/javascript">
function readTextFile() {
    var rawFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
    var filepath = 'https://www.norwoodbaptistchurchri.org/s/LastService.txt';
    rawFile.open('GET', filepath, true);

Me too! No find file!

Was/is your site in trial mode? If so uploaded files aren't available until the site is paid for. But before you pay for a site you'll want to make sure you have the right URL.
