I'm trying to add a file uploader to my website and I was wondering if there is any way or any open source code that can upload a file and the display the contents of the file in an html textarea. This files with most likey be Python or Javascript files, so the when the file is uploaded the code from the file will be display in the text area. I'm not sure if this is completly possible or not with just javascript, so please let me know if I would need to use another language to accomplish this. Thank you.

Can I pick my title?
You'll need a server-side language to make the file upload and read it's content.
The rest is possible to do with JavaScript, and I think there's lots of code sinepts for code highlight over the web.
