I am quite stuck here so any help would be >greatly appreciated. source.xls just contains a bit of text, right? And you want that to end up in a Javascript variable? First, I'd use file_get_contents() or file() to get the contents of source.xls into a PHP array. $source = file_get_contents ('http://.../source.xls'); Next, you have to remember that Javascript is just text, the same as HTML. So you can embed $source into a Javascript block in the same way as you would embed it into HTML. <script language="Javascript"> function doAlert () { var source = "<? echo ($source) ?>"; alert (source); } </script> <a href='javascript:doAlert()'>Click Me</a> Apologies for any mistakes in the Javascript, but I'm sure you get the idea. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
