I want to pull the file from the webserver, not from the client.
Thanks for the wikipedia article, I will research more on that.

I haven't read this through fully but you can have a look

Just read it and basically the ajax code allows you to request the file which is a csv. The response body can then be manipulated however you want, no vbscript.

Quite observant! Using the http call to get the file.
We get so caught up in making a function call to the server side, that we forget that the web server is doing a valuable function (Returning responses to request = pages) and miss the fact that we could simply ask for the file.
The one question that comes to my mind is security. I guess the kewl thing is that AJAX does not allow cross site calling.

I cannot use asp, because the site is going to be maintained by a non-tech person. The site has to be in english or spanish, based on the user's preference.
The owner wants to be able to update the information on a regular basis by himself. He is also going to do the translation to spanish.
I am thinking to use two sets of text files - one in english and one in spanish - so that the pages would load the info from either of them.

This is interesting.
I wil experiment with some of this
