simple way to display data in a .txt file on a web

Question

Working on a project, one of the webpages will display a list of people (specifically, a list of people from a graduation class that haven't been located yet). Instead of manually updating these lists in tables which is a boneheaded Web 1.0 way of doing it, I'd like to take the submitted list of names, convert them to a simple .txt list, and then display that list on the webpage.

So far, the easist way to do this is to use an iframe element... only thing is, I cannot (or don't know how to) apply any text styling to the contents of the iframe. I've published a sample of what I've been able to accomplish here: http://dongarber.com/test//helpus-iframetest.html

The default font is courier, and the client probably ain't gonna be too keen on it. Is there a better way to do this, that's doesn't require ASP.NET or a database?

#list  p {
    font: arial;
    font-size: 14px;
}

Answer 1

How are you converting the submitted names to "a simple .txt list"? During that step, can you instead convert them into a simple HTML list or table? Then you could wrap that in a standard header which includes any styling you want.

Answer 2

You can add it as script file. save the txt file with js suffix

in the head section add

<script src="fileName.js"></script>
