JavaScript: Loading an External File to a DIV

this script will let you load an external text file to a DIV container in the html file.

first, put this code in the 'head' section of the html:
<script>
<!--
function ReplaceText(container,content) {
document.getElementById(container).innerHTML = "<iframe src='"+content+"' width=600 height=400 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto>";
}
-->
</script>

and then use this in the link:
<a href="#" onClick="ReplaceText('base','sample.txt')">Load Text</a>

the container div should be something like this:
<div id="base"><div>

happy coding :-)
