Maybe you wanted to use Java instead of JavaScript. Didn't you? — Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan, Apr 01 '15 at 08:04

You cannot read dics content by JavaScript, JavaScript is browser only, unless you are using some kind of nodeJS, but that will work as a Backend app. Cookies are the only exeption to this rule. Or you could doenload file content via Ajax... but that has little sence. — Beri, Apr 01 '15 at 08:06
@AshishNegi, no matter what the case is. This question is not constructive and too low on information about the scenario too. I suggest he/she edit the post. — Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan, Apr 01 '15 at 08:07
@Beri that's not true. There's stuff like [the File System API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebGuide/API/File_System). And then there's things like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/1087257/238310). I still imagine he's using Java or node.js though. — Martijn Arts, Apr 01 '15 at 08:08
@Vaish Take your time to read about how to ask questions on stackoverflow.. and it would be great if you can show what you have done till now.. Or keep doing this for future questions.. — Ashish Negi, Apr 01 '15 at 08:24
