It sounds like your question is more about general web programming than anything specific to Dropbox, so I'm afraid I can't be too helpful. You may be better helped on a general web programming forum.
So far, I see you are able to retrieve the data from the link. From there you may need to interpret or convert that data (e.g., since it's a docx in this case), and then use JavaScript to update that textarea to display the desired content.
