I don't know about IE, but I know signed JavaScript can do this in Netscape. Although the last time I worked w/ signed JS in Netscape, it was a nightmare. No, most nightmares are a walk in the park, a nice walk on a sunny day, compared to the hell I went through to get signed JS working. (The actual code is easy, but getting the browser to recognize the fact that the permissions were turned on was something else.)
Anyway, check out the docs on signed JS. Maybe Netscape has improved it some in 6.0. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > I'm scanning the Javascript Bible here, and the web, but > can't get the right > resource in order to leverage what I need to do. > > I'd basically like the user to interface with their own drives, list > directories, read files, i.e text/xml/csv etc using the > browser and JS, from > a website. > > Can Javascript allow me to do this. > > I've used Javascript to control XML data islands, but I've > loaded everything > up server side, not client side. > > Is this at all possible. > Has anyone done anything like this before. > > jmc > .. > .. > .. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
