Does anyone know how to open, read and extract a HTML file content (that stored in my local C driver) using JavaScript and C# from another web application?

I don't want to use window.open(), but I tried xmlhttp.open ('GET', 'my.html') or document.open() and used getElementsTagName or getElementsByID and I could not extract the html content at all. It's very frustrated.

I understand that you can use document.open and getElementsByID if the JavaScript functions are within the HTML file itself. But how about calling from another web application (that written in C# and JavaScript) then?

Any help would be appreciated it. Thanks.

When I needed to do this in COM, or JavaScript, I used to use a combination of FileSystemObject and the HtmlFile class. From C# you can use a StreamReader to open the file as normal, I'm not sure that the HtmlFile class can be used from .NET or if there's a similar class in the standard library. It seems likely that you could use it from .NET by using tlbimp.exe
