how to read a text file using javascript without using activeX?

Question

If there is no solution, then suggest some other solution to read file..

If you're looking to read local file on the users computer there is no other way than having the user upload the file if you don't want to use activex or java applet. — Asken, Nov 05 '11 at 13:16
...just because there is no way to do it doesn't mean this question is bad. Obviously it was clear enough to answer. — Kirk Woll, Nov 05 '11 at 13:57
