If the file you want to access is client-side, and your clients are IE, and
you get your users to set IE's permissions to allow it, you can use the
FileSystemObject to read/write the file. Here is an example from MSDN
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt", true);
a.WriteLine("This is a test.");
a.Close();
The example writes to a file, but reading is easy too. You can read the file
into a string and then set it into a DIV element, perhaps, e.g.
mydiv.innerText = mystringwithfilecontents;
