<input type="file" name="fileread" />
<iframe id='iframe1' name='iframe1' src='fileread'> </iframe>

Reading files in javascript is not as easy as it sounds like. I suggest that first you check https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileReader , there's a documentation. I found an great article from the net related to your question: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/read-text-files-using-the-javascript-filereader.html#fbid=9oig0UB93RL .

Hope you will find something.
