Irve it is treated as a .js script so it has to be a proper javascript
There is a html5 javascript local file reader api but it's support is patchy and complex and I have not tested it.
google "read text files with javascript" and you will see the details
I will do some tests over the next few days to see how it works and the level of support (especially on mobile browsers)

Graham When creating the include file do we have to make it in pure javascript, or we can just make it plain text file and add a .js extension?

Tiax A similar outcome without xtscript can be achieved using a javascript call in your filelist template
<script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/.file_name_base..js"></script>
Copy code
And then create the included files as javascripts
Here is an example site using javascripts in the filelist template

Can you give me one code has the same functionality as this code.
Without use to Xtscript but it still works.
<!--parser:xtscript-->
var $list = <xt:filelist sort_type="updated" sort_dir="desc" per_page="9" folder="fl" template="<div class="list1"><a href="/.file_name..html" title="<xt:include file="fl/.file_name."/">" rel="dofollow"><xt:include file="fl/.file_name."/></a></div>" filter=""/>
print $list
<!--/parser:xtscript-->
Copy code
The important point is this code, it does not take action without Xtscript
<xt:include file="fl/.file_name."/>
Copy code
