Not exactly. You have the access to those local files that the user has requested/selected. You will never be permitted to freely wander around user's actual local filesystem. Ther is, however, a draft specification of File API which allows a javascript application to create it's own 'sandboxed' filesystem, with files and directories. See the spec (http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/file-system/file-dir-sys.html) and a good article (http://www.thecssninja.com/javascript/filesystem) on implementation. Already works in latest stable Chrome and perhaps FF4 beta (didn't test though).

In Firefox, it works if "01.swf" exists. If not, I get "Access to restricted URI denied" code: "1012". I believe javascript can know whether a file exists, but how? -- Lai, Yu-Hsuan -- Lai, Yu-Hsuan -- Best regards, Dmitriy Pashkevich mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ JSMentors mailing list [email protected] http://jsmentors.com/mailman/listinfo/jsmentors_jsmentors.com -- Lai, Yu-Hsuan _______________________________________________ JSMentors mailing list [email protected] (sentmsg?compose&[email protected]) http://jsmentors.com/mailman/listinfo/jsmentors_jsmentors.com (http://jsmentors.com/mailman/listinfo/jsmentors_jsmentors.com)
