Hey guys, I have a question that I have wondered for a long time now.

How would I go about, if it’s possible, having a table cell load, but pull info for what goes into that cell from an external text or html file. Is that possible? I know how I could do it with Iframes but they dont work with Mozilla and a lot of verisons of netscape so that would be kind of like a last ditch effort.

Any help would be of great use here guys. And yes, I have thought about just usuing flash for it and loading it dynamically but my client doesn’t want flash used on her site… crazy people 😉

Thanks!!
