I know how to load external text from a .txt file using

<div id=text> <div>

and javascript

 $(#text).load(pathtofile/content.txt); // element's id should be in string form

but can this be done between two < p > tags instead of inserting into a div? if so how?

Thanks

To get the text from only a paragraph from the file, try this:

HTML:

<div id=tempDiv style=display: none;></div>

<p id=text></p>

JQuery:

 var tempDiv = $('#tempDiv');

 tempDiv.load(pathToFile/content.txt);

 var html = tempDiv.find('#theParagraphId').html();

 $('#text').html(html);
