refresh data read from text file with out page refresh - html

Question

i am a novice at Java and JS so this will be very basic.
I've got this code that creates a text file in a specific directory. i only got as far as creating an actuale file, however, as the text file will be frequantely updated, i need the page to refresh/reload the text file and display it's data (just in the blank page). How do i do this, with out user needed to click refresh (auto refresh in sense, however, i've tried auto refresh and it does not seem to reload JS and/or display text file's content)
Create Text file/Read/Display content/Refresh and/or Reload - no user refresh
<script>
function createFile()
{
var object = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var file = object.CreateTextFile("C:/Documents and Settings/galimbek.sagidenov/My Documents/Practice HTML_Photoshop_java/BroadcastTest.txt", false);
file.WriteLine('Hello World');
file.WriteLine('Hope is a thing with feathers, that perches on the soul.');
file.Close();
}
</script>

Answer 1

this will not accomplished by using client side javascript only you have to use server side code:
server ex (using node.js):
server :
var http = require("http"),
fs=require("fs");
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
fs.writeFileSync("C:/Documents and Settings/galimbek.sagidenov/My Documents/Practice HTML_Photoshop_java/BroadcastTest.txt", 'Hello World\r\nHope is a thing with feathers, that perches on the soul.');
}).listen(8888);
client
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$.get("http://localhost:8888",function(){
console.log("writing to file successeded");
})
})
</script>
