I have tried using the below code modified from http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/file/dndfiles/ to read in a text or xml file and display the contents below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>reading xml</title>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 />
</head>
<body>
<input type=file id=files name=files[] multiple />
<output id=list></output>
<script>
function handleFileSelect(evt) {
var files = evt.target.files; // FileList object
// Loop through the FileList
for (var i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {
var reader = new FileReader();
// Closure to capture the file information.
reader.onload = (function(theFile) {
return function(e) {
// Print the contents of the file
var span = document.createElement('span');
span.innerHTML = ['<p>',e.target.result,'</p>'].join('');
document.getElementById('list').insertBefore(span, null);
};
})(f);
// Read in the file
//reader.readAsDataText(f,UTF-8);
reader.readAsDataURL(f);
}
}
document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change', handleFileSelect, false);
</script>
</body>
reader.readAsDataText(f,UTF-8); Does not work
reader.readAsDataURL(f); Displays the file in Base64
How can I get a text file to be displayed on the page?
