HTML is just a formatting/presentation language, it cannot "browse" or read anything. I have no idea in what way are you "working on" it. :-)

its not just html, javascript also included

I can see your change in question, that's better. Do you mean iFrame? This is just a separate page.
And why would you want to read a file in Javascript?
