Populate menu with a text file eg text.txt
You can do this using .get:
var textFile = "SCHEME://DOMAIN/FILENAME.txt"; jQuery.get(textFile, function(textFileData) { //Parse file and populate menu based on specs. //textFileData will have the text }
If you want the text back for each line you can do (assuming the names are separated by a newline):
var EachLineInTextFile= textFileData.responseText.split("\n"); for (var i = 0, len = EachLineInTextFile.length; i < len; i++) { //This will give you each name from here you can put the name where you want it }
A sample would be:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { var textFile = "http://localhost/MyDomain/Menu.txt"; jQuery.get(textFile, function (textFileData) { var EachLineInTextFile = textFileData.responseText.split("\n"); for (var i = 0, len = EachLineInTextFile.length; i < len; i++) { STORE_TO_REPLACE = EachLineInTextFile[i]; //STORE_TO_REPLACE: I would have to the entire format of your file to do this. } }) }); </script>

Or, if you want to replace them all you can use .each to iterate through your list.
