Hello,

You can retrieve the content of the text file via an XMLHttpRequest. Please check this article:
http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=79663&topic=11366

Please let me know if you have any problems using this method after you go through the article.

Thanks and Regards, Bijoy Thangaraj

Hi, I am very new to this and very dumb but I am looking for some examples and guidance if possible.

I would like to create a gadget that retrieves a .txt file from a web server and reads the values which are over multiple lines (format is <realmID=1 status=0>). This file has to stay the same as another critical application relies on it.

Based on the realmID I would like to display some text (i.e. server name) and based on the status I would like to display an image (green light for 0, red light for 2 etc).

Any examples or pointers on how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.
