title: Javascript read and display content of a file
body: <p>I want to read a file that's saved in the same folder. Then I want to show its content in a div in index.html. The problem: when I used <code>require("fs")</code> it didn't work since it wasn't running server-side. I have been looking around and can't find a simple answer. I want to make my website a little dynamic, so here is the code that should fire upon a button click:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function videos() {
      var body = *read a file("insertfilename")*;
      console.log(body);
      document.getElementById("body").innerHTML = body;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>"body" in this case is just the id I gave the div.</p>
  
  <p>!EDIT!</p>
  
  <p>Now to explain it further. I want to use it as my main website. When I go onto there it should open an empty html file, which has a scriptfile as source. "onload" it should read a file , which is also already on the server, and put its content into a div inside of the body. If I click on a hotlink or a Button, it should read another file and put that content into that div instead. Maybe that gives a little clarification on what I am trying to do. I dont want to reload to open other sites of mine.</p>
