Tip
External content is not loaded while editing a script. To test a script that loads external content, you
can do a preflight; see "Doing a Preflight" on page391.
loadtext(location)
Returns the content of a text file. The file extension doesn't have to be .txt. It may also be a
JavaScript file (.js) or a style sheet (.css), for instance.
location
String containing a path that can either be a URL or a path that is relative to the
section/context.
In order to retrieve files from outside the template the file protocol is supported as well as the
http/https protocols.
The complete syntax of a fully qualified URL with the "file" protocol is: file://<host>/<path>. If
the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in file:///<path>, for example:
file:///c:/somefolder/somecontent.js.
Examples
This script loads a JavaScript file (from the Resources pane) directly into a <script> element.
var js = loadtext("js/my-script.js");
results.append(query("<script>").text(js));
The following script loads a style sheet (from the Resources pane) into the <style> element.
var css = loadtext("css/my-styles.css");
results.append(query("<style type='text/css'>").text(css));
