Yes you can do that: Mike has an example in his tutorial. However, bear in mind that *any* data which is sent to the browser is available to the user. Just moving the data to an external file isn't hiding it (although it may be easier for you to maintain, and possibly easier to move on to using a database). "View source" will reveal the name of your data file, and it's likely to be easy to get at! There are ways to prevent that, but it would involve some server-side programming, which is outside the scope of this group. If something is displayed on a map, it can be scraped by anyone interested enough and determined enough to do that.
