Help!!! How do you have a webpage read another file?

Published on December 31, 2004 By joeKnowledge In Websites

This is so basic, but I can't remember. I know there is a way to have an html fil have a relative link to another filre and upload the text file (or html file) and show it on the page.

So for example you have a blank web page with a relative link that the blank page gets the info to show whatever on itself.

anybody know what I mean?

Second question:
CSS:
Can ou have a div tag that says "story" and a relative link to where the text file is and then show it on that part of he page?

I am trying to make posting on my website easier without using a database system. If I can just write text files and save them to the server and it will just show on the webpage that would be great.

Yes I know, a blog can do that, just get Moveable Type or something and make the wepage look however you want, but I am actually trying to learn how to design websites myself from knowing coding so using a system is not where I want to go.

Any suggestions? Websites I can go to? Books I can get?
