Steps

• Create a Text Area and style as required. o Add Special Name of htmlblocktext. o Add Name (ID/Anchor) of statusText. o For this demonstrator only, select the Text Area and press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+A and pick your status.txt file, containing your message. • Create a button. o Add Special Name of UsesJQuery. o Add Link of javascript: void $('#statusText').load('index_htm_files/status.txt'); • Test ========================================================================= • You would not normally bind the status.txt file to the Xara design file. • The whole purpose is to be able to solely change the status.txt file, independent of the Xara design file. • I recommend FTP to the root folder so the red parts above can be removed. • The status.txt file can be published anywhere. • I decided against a timer approach to avoid all the error cases required. • I am quite pleased with the one-liner call.
