ARES/RACES HTML/JavaScript Membership Database
Phil Karras, KE3FL
NOTE:
When this article was written Javascript
was able to open and read
text files as described. Unfortunately, that changed a few years later and
Javascript can no longer open and read txt files.
This is not as big a problem as one might think because Javascript can still
open
htm or
html
files. By saving your database file as a
.htm
file Javascript will be able opened and read the file by the same method used
to open and read a txt file as shown in the article below.
Other than the extenion name change from
txt
to
htm
the standard format for an html file must also be used. In this case this is
simply to include the <html>
and the
<body>
tags and of course the closing
</body> and
</html> tags.
If you don't know how to do that, just open this file from your browser into a
text editor by RIGHT-clicking on this
page and then in the pop-up window click on the
"
View Page Source"
option.
You do not
need the <TITLE> or
<head> tags in the html file you
want javascript to be able to open.
