From: Mateo on 20 Mar 2006 11:03 Hi! I have JS program which opens XML file for parsing and loading informations from file on client side... I use file upload (file field) HTML control to browse for files. Problem: How can I write file path when I run program from the internet and need to force JS to load file from my local disk!?!? If I put path like this: file:///SomeFolder/SomeSubfolder/filename.xml it searches file on server.... or what? If I put my path like this C:/SomeFolder/SomeSubfolder/filename.xml doesn't work.... Please help...

Please seek to improve your punctuation and posting style. This is Usenet. <URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/> You cannot access a resource from a resource accessed with a different protocol, second-level domain, or port part, unless you lower the security restrictions of the client or use a signed script. This is called the Same Origin Policy (introduced by Netscape, implemented by others), and we have discussed this very often before here. It also applies to local files (which have protocol "file", no domain, and no port number in their URI) from a resource retrieved via HTTP (protocol "http"); it does not matter that the script runs client-side. > If I put path like this: > file:///SomeFolder/SomeSubfolder/filename.xml > it searches file on server.... or what? No, it does not. The URI refers to the local file "/SomeFolder/SomeSubfolder/filename.xml" which is unlikely to exist, unless a unixoid filesystem is mounted to "/" (ext3, et al.) > If I put my path like this > C:/SomeFolder/SomeSubfolder/filename.xml > doesn't work.... The correct URI would be "file:///C:/SomeFolder/SomeSubfolder/filename.xml", with the empty string before the third `/' being a shortcut for `localhost'. HTH PointedEars
