I'm working on a stand along web page that is not on a web server but just an HTML file on the computer that displays the page. However we need the page to pull in some names from a TXT file that gets updated throughout the day.

Is there a way with Javascript (or just HTML or whatever) that I can have the page pull in the text from the file every time the page is loaded?

I know how to do it if it's on a website running SSL and such but how can I do it when it's a stand along computer with a stand alone HTML file?

Thanks.
