loadStrings in Javascript mode

in Processing with Other Languages • 7 months ago

I'm trying to display a word from a word list located on my web-site. It works ok in Java mode, but in

Javascript mode nothing happens. Can I fix this? Some example code here:

String[] Verbs = loadStrings("http://drasikproductions.web44.net/wordlists/Rest/IngedVerbs.html");
void setup(){
size(200,200);
background(0);
}
void draw(){
fill(255);
text(Verbs[0],70,100);
}

For security reasons, JavaScript cannot load data from sites different from the one serving the HTML file.
There are some workarounds though, perhaps using iframes, or using JsonP.
One solution is to just copy the content of the file to your own site.

How can I copy 10 word lists to one HTML file?

It might be a simple text file... Despite the .html extension of the file you show, that's what the file is: a simple list with one word per line (can be seen with View Source command).

And to answer your question, a simple copy & paste can do the job...
