html >> Importing text...

by Captaingooch » Wed, 18 Jan 2006 20:20:45 GMT

Hi all,

I recently designed a site for someone, but I would now like to give then the
ability to update the text on the index page. Is there any way of letting a
webpage import "text" from a text file (.txt) everytime it loads...? Without
getting databases (which I know nothing about) involved...?? This way I could
easily give the user ftp access to the location of the text file they need to
update. And problem solved! Also, it would be cool if the style sheet stays
attached to the text of course....

Any suggestions..

Regards
Johnny

7. How to import text more cleanly

Can you help me import text onto an existing DW page or template more cleanly? 
I'm using CSS. When I update a page I just copy and paste from another doc. DW 
converts this to its version of html (I think there's a strange default 
operating here) which leaves all the paragraphs closed up and unspaced. I 
laboriously insert extra lines at each para. Due to the nature of the html this 
gives a 2 line space. So I go back and delete from the beginning of each para 
to get my one line space (or whatever I set in the CSS)

 What I want is an extension or another method to get 'clean' html text where 
the paras are simply <p> and <p/>.

 Of course I can work on the html to clean it up but what is the best way to 
import text cleanly without DW adding to it, or a quick way to add the tags 
beforehand?
