That is exactly how all of this started. I did remove all the windows references and used the HFS path instead. However, there was an issue with ExternalDataFileEx vs ExternalDataFile. I was getting errors about sf.records not having any properties around line 45.
for (i=0;i<sf.records[0].length;i++) I'm all in favor of a more ellegant solution. But production is looking for a solution that works. And as far as anyone can tell, this is the current preferred solution. Once this is depracated I'll be happy to modify things on our end. I will start fresh and make only the changes you suggest below as well as reading what mozilla has to offer about the File funtion. I'll report back tomorrow with what I have found. *On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 04:43:19PM -0500 Dan Korn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That said, I think you've made this more confusing than it needs to be. > You shouldn't need to do more than this: > > 1.
