You're right, there are security concerns... this is on our corporate
intranet - I have a captive audience and they know they can trust the
content. In the short time it took someone to reply, I have figured out my
problem. For reference here is what I did:
in the <head> section...
<script language="JavaScript">
function populateit() {
form1.archive.value = document.DirBrowse.BrowseDir()
}
</script>
...snip... in the <body>
<! This is the browse control>
<PRE>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:9AB43B98-DAE3-11D6-B928-00B0D0597E87"
codeBase="http://<%=Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")%>/fnwebadm/dirbrowse.ocx"
height=0 width=0 id="DirBrowse">
</OBJECT>
</PRE>
<form action="unknown.asp" method=POST name=form1>
<table border=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top>Archive Directory:</td>
<td align=right valign=top><input type=text name=archive size=50></td>
<td valign=top><input type=button value="Browse"
onclick="populateit();"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Can you see any major problems with this implementation?
Thanks!!
