How can I include an html file in javascript?

[uwajes]

I'm trying to use this a Tree Menu (from CoolDev). I am trying to put an include statement in the javascript so I can include an html file, but have had no success so far.

Here's an example line of the code:

 ['Images', null, null,
  ['Simple', null, null,
   ['</a><img src="img/test1.jpg" width="200" height="100" alt="Test image 200x100"><a>', null, null]
  ],

I've tried the following ways, but still get errors.

 ['Images', null, null, 
	  ['Simple', null, null, 
		 ['</a><!--#include file='dir/filename.htm'--><a>', null, null]
 ],

 ['Images', null, null, 
	  ['Simple', null, null, 
		 ['</a><!--#include virtual="menu.html" --><a>', null, null]
 ],

I'm sure I'm just doing this wrong, any tips on how to include an html file in javascript?

There is no way to include an HTML file in JavaScript. It looks like you're trying to use SSI (Server Side Includes) to include the file.

I don't see anything particularly wrong with your SSI syntax, but there are a number of things that could be wrong on the server to prevent them from executing. What errors do you get?

A good method is to introduce the new HTML into an iFrame. You can also read the data that the iFrame contains so long as its from the same site
