Read data in HTML object tag

Question

I have a text file stored on the server and an object in HTML like this:

Answer 1

I created a simple function and button as an example. Just copy the html and js code and it should work for you. Just make sure you create the appropriate txt or html file for the object to import.

function getObjectData()
{
    //alert("getObjectData");
    
    var myData = "";
    var object = document.getElementById("data");
    
    //get data inside object data
    var myData = object.contentDocument.body.childNodes[0].innerHTML;

    alert("myData => " + myData + " <= myData" );
}

#data{
    height: 36px;
    border: solid 1px red;
    /*overflow: hidden;*/
}
