Accessing The CD Drive From A Disk In...the Same Drive!
Oct 14, 2005
I have a web page (offline) that accesses the user's CD drive to play an audio file on a CD. It uses this routine:
<OBJECT id=player1 height=64 width=160 classid=CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6>OBJECT>
</font><script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("player1").uiMode="full";
document.getElementById("player1").settings.autoStart=false;
document.getElementById("player1").settings.volume=50;
player1.URL=src="file:///"+YouWrote+":/Track01.cda";
</script>
That variable "YouWrote" (the CD Drive letter) is set by a cookie on the page - defaults to "D", but the user can change this, refresh the page, and access the audio in the correctly referenced drive.
Works well - if the page is resident in memory and refreshed if necessary.
My problem is if I put this page on a CD - that is, I want the page to load up from the CD drive - and there's only one drive - it doesn't work.
I can't seem to get the user to be able to choose the drive letter by setting the cookie (or even go with the default), then refresh the page, switch the CD with the Audio CD, and get Windows Media Player to find and play the Track01.cda file.
It chokes because the player says it can't play files with this extension. But it is obviously still thinking about the html file it loaded.
How do I disconnect the knowledge of the loadup CD in Windows Media Player's mind (assuming anything Windows has a mind)? Is there some obvious logical procedure I should follow and/or for the js script?

I have an html file I've built with embedded Javascript (using ActiveX) that successfully reads a file on my local hard drive when I run the html file through my web browser (IE) locally. However, when I copy the html page up to a webserver and access it through the internet, it doesn't appear to be reading the local file. I'm assuming this can't be done because of security reasons? Am I correct in that? Is there any way using Javascript/ ActiveX that you can get a webpage on the internet to access a file on the visitor's local drive?

I think I know the answer to this but I want to ask anyway. There are scores of pages on a particular website that I need to download so I can process them. They would all come down as XML files. I wrote a desktop app a while ago to do this but I was hoping to move this functionality to my website. This is an example of one of the pages I would download/copy:[URL]... A related question is... after I get all of these pages into a folder on my machine... I will need to point JQuery to the folder where they were copied and process each one. Does JQuery have a built in way to open a folder and capture all the files inside so they can be processed? I couldn't find anything like that.

Is there a way to scan files on a local hard drive using Javascript? I'm trying to create a GUI for a program using html and js. As such the html files will only be accessed from the local machine using Firefox. I would like to avoid using server-side scripts, as I want to use this on a computer without server software installed. My overall objective is I want the javascript to scan all files (data plots I've made) in a directory on the local machine. The JS would create a list of possible dates based on which files were found, the user would then select the date which would then display the corresponding plot.

I need to upload/read an xml from a local drive of any platform (linux, windows, mac) and synchronize it with my web server, which will then update my DB. Local xml file path is predefined and stored in my DB. This is part 1.Part 2, I will have to update the sync(ed) xml and replace the file on my local drive.Part 1 and part 2 will execute in sequence when the user click on a "Sync" button after logged in.Here is what I plan to use, PHP, MySQL, Javascript.What I know so far.1. Due to security reasons we cannot dynamically update the value of the input file type. So setting the known file location is not possible.I will like to know if there is anyway we can upload/read & overwrite a xml file without any middleware like adobe air that needs to be pre-installed to any of the platform to achieve what I plan to do?

We have a directory of files on our ftp server. Is there a javacript to
make a connection to the ftp server and compare files on a local drive
and on the server? Files that have been changed or added need to be
copied across from the ftp server to the local drive.

I have made aa simple offline website to be used as an intranet. This is made up of an html file and a seperate js file.
While testing, i had the html on my c: drive and the one line js file sitting on a network drive (g - everything worked how it should.
I then put the html onto g: drive and find that the part that the js file controls no longer works...
All my file paths are the same and point to the right place but for some reason the js doesn't work.

I am trying to use Accordion Content script v1.7 from DynamicDrive.com on some pages. I have set up a test page to show the error messages. I have changed the doctype of the page several times, including the exact one they use on the sample/instruction page on DD, but no luck. It is also throwing an error of undefined var ddaccordion, which is defined in ddaccordion.js, which is the JS file that goes with sample page , which is located in the same directory.

How can I animate this car: driving from left to right of the screen? I imagine it starting on the outside of the wrapper border so top left 0 and ends top right 960px... When it hits top right corner can it then flip 180 degrees and drive back in the other direction? Also how can I do it in jquery for the browsers that don't support the CSS3? I was also wondering if you click on the car could some flames shoot out the exhaust which makes it drive faster??

I have a problem created by my complete [rookie] status – only second time venturing into jQuery. I created a simple shopping cart using php and the PayPal buttons (1: buy now, 2: add to cart). The php back end does it great, it generates the table and the buttons and everything works just like it’s supposed to; Except, I forgot to add sizes. So I found out what I need to add, and I realize that the way the buttons work, I will have two different text boxes for size. Not very visually appealing, and since I’m not submitting this to the server before it goes to PayPal to pay, I cannot modify it with php the way I normally would. jQuery / javascript are my only hope of making this work. What I want to do:Have a single textbox where [size] is entered by the user.
Copy the value from the [correct] text box to the Value=”” section of the now hidden field in the PayPal form That way, no matter whether they [BUY NOW] or [ADD to CART] the right size is submitted to the PayPal shopping cart. This is the actual PayPal code that I’m trying to change
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Size" maxlength="200">Size</td>
[code].....
I got this far, and then decided to find how to insert the "enteredVALUE" into the right place in the input text field (what I called output) and I've not been able to figure out how to stuff it in there.

What is the correct way to incorporate a .js file into an HTML file
*IF* the .js file on a hard disk?
What I have tried is listed below but it does not work... When trying
to access a function module in one of the .js files, I get an error
that the function module is not defined (which would lead me to believe
that it is not being imported with the .js "src" instruction.
Does anyone know how to get around this? Code:

I have a javascript code to save form data in XML format. In this, user can provide a filename in which data will be saved.
Now there is a button "Load" which should display the list of files saved by that user and then user can open any file from that list.
I would like to know how to find out how many files have been saved by user and display a list using javascript.

I have recently worked on a flash based learning course and built functionality where users throughout the course can type in their own notes based on the course, and they can revisit these everytime they launch the course, the functionality is simply using flash cookies to store the notes on the users machine. I wanted to build functionality so that they could then save these notes to their hard disk and e-mail them on. To do this I call a javascript function from flash which opens a new webpage, passes through the notes from flash and uses document.write to write the notes to the new webpage. Then the user Saves (as web page html only) to save a copy to their machine.
The problem is I want to do this web page up a bit more, add graphics etc. but if I save as web page html only it won't include any images I add to the html page, and if I change it so that they save as (Web Page Complete) rather than write the webpage out with the notes it will write the webpage with the code document.write(string) but as this is on the users hard disk now string will be undefined as it no longer run alongside the course. Is their any other way anyone can think of doing this type of functionality, I am trying to stay away from using PHP

I am looking for a way to select a file from a list and load it into a webpage. The page and the files are stored on a sd-card for off-line usage, I know that listing files remote dynamicly needs a scripting engine but since the sd-card is on the client side that is not possible, but I can make a list of those files when creating them.
It is intended for a datalogger on a tractor-puller, I create csv files with a bash script on the logger and for off-line viewing I use a javascript charting engine which loads the csv file, the files have the creation date as filename and I can make (and maintain) a list of files when creating them. The plan is that the we can select another data set (run) from within the browser and show that one. I have setup an example at [URL]
