Hey ryanboyd,
Hopefully I can help you out.

First off, type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" isn't needed, js is implied by script.
Secondly, you set the charset in <head>, (<meta charset="UTF-8" />)

Anyways, in response to your actual question, you'll need to load it dynamically with AJAX
$.get() jQuery
you'd also be better off just using a json file since you can parse that directly into some json structure in JS, as it is JS Object Notation and then use dataTable with that.

Hopefully this was helpful to you,
If you need more assistance you're welcome to PM me.

Well technically all you need to do is build an html table of with all your data. Then initialize the javascript by embedding it in the html file or including it through a js file. If you include it through a js file you do not have to have the <script></script> tags.

Shouldn't need to use ajax if its static data in the same file system.. just navigate the file system.

@ryanboyd if you can use php why don't you just completely build your table (assuming its static) in your data file and then include it? This is common for static data like headers and footers. If your static data is only 25 rows personally I would just have it in your html to begin with instead of fetching it.

<?php include 'data.php';?>
