Hi Steve,
This feels like a hack but it does accomplish what you want.
It uses WebClient to fetch the file as a string. (This is ASP.NET 2.0 code)
Perhaps this will spark someone to come up with a more elegant solution?

Hi,
The best (IMHO) and cleanest way is to use a XmlHttp object to send a
GET request for the text file, and then use the callback mechanism to
include it in your HTML document using DOM.
For more info, check XmlHttp on Google, and remember that you can also
use this object client-side with JavaScript (this is what is used to
make WebServices work)
HTH,
Laurent
Steve said:Is there a way to pull text from a url into a web page? Similar to how
the <img> element uses a URL to access the image to display.
<txt src="http:\\www....." >
thanks,
