使用纯JavaScript从文本文件读取数据

Question

I have a text file with all of the english nouns called words.txt . And my goal is to look for a word given by the user in this file. But since I'm new to javascript, I was hoping to find a way with which, in pure javascript, I can save this file into a variable in which i can later look for the word that has been input.

EDIT: I would like a pure javascript way to do this, so no jquery or ajax.

Answer 1

There is such possibility offered by the File API:

http://www.w3.org/TR/file-upload/

You'll find there also code examples for using the API.

This is however not yet supported by all browsers.
