This one might also be regarded as off topic, but as some you might
be stuck with the same problem, I thought it might be worth to share.
The issue is that starting from firefox 3.0, when using an input file
element in a form, you can't access to the full path of the file
chosen by the user, even if it's fully displayed in the form. e.g. : /
user/paul/3ert.pdb. From javascript, the file.value string would give
you only the file name (eg : 3ert.pdb).
I didn't find any way of getting the full path back. However one can
now access to the whole file content directly from javascript, using
the getAsText method. Coupled with the jmolLoadInline function, it
allows to load any local file into the Jmol applet. For example I
successfully used the following code :
<input type="file" id="loadname" size="20" onchange="jmolLoadInline
(document.getElementById('loadname').files.item(0).getAsText(''));
return false;">
It worked smoothly with any plain text file. It didn't work with a
gzipped file, giving back a "unrecognized file format for file
string" error message.
