PARSE DATA FROM TEXT FILE HTML5

PARSE DATA FROM TEXT FILE HTML5

ok.  I am new to this html5 & jquery stuff.  This might be a simple question for everyone out there.  Is there away to parse data from a text document or xml to show in a text field when html5 doc is loaded.  I dont want a button to activate it all I want is when the page gets loaded it loads whatever is in the text document.


Is there anyway to animate that text box?  maybe scrolling it.. like a ticker.  I know its probably basic to all of you but I was just wondering if someone can help me out with that.
