Images can be pulled externally from a source <img src=“…” />. Can TEXT be pulled externally without javascript? <span src=“…”>

Question

I can source an image externally from a URL.

<img src="http://www.sourcefile.com/image.jpg" />

Is there a way to externally source text from a URL without needing Javascript?

Example:

<a href="http://www.sourcefile.com/myname.txt"></a>

Will appear as

Jon

...because that's the text inside of the referenced text file.

Answer 1

without javascript, you cant do it. but its possible to use iframe to load some external page content.
