I have web page where user can upload file. He can select which file to upload with standard HTML input of type file. I want to add this feature: when user select some file (e.g. picture, pdf etc.) in file select dialog, I want to add link to selected local file. When user click on it browser(maybe associated application) should open local file so user can review what he selected. I was experimenting with urls with "file" protocol but it works only with html file located on local computer not for one on web server. I found that this is because of security restriction in browsers.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to search through an xml located on my local machine with an html page. Here's the thing: this whole system (html files, xml file) will always be on my local machine. Because it's a class project it won't be on a server. So here's the scenario: I navigate to where my files are located (say C:) and I double click my index.html page and this page opens in my browser and from this page I need to be able to search my xml file which is at the same location. I've tried xmlhttprequest and it won't open the xml file I'm guessing because I don't need an http request.
Here's what I have so far:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} xmlhttp.open("GET","C:MovieDB.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
function searchDB() {
if(!xmlDoc){
alert("error")
} var keyword = $('#txtBox').val();
var searchVal = $('#basicCategory :selected').text();
var allitems = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Movie");
for(var i=0;i<allitems.length;i++){
alert(allitems[i].getElementsByTagName(searchVal[0].
childNodes[0].nodeValue);
} }
The code doesn't make it past the xmlhttp.send() line.
I have a photo editing business with many people working in Photoshop. I am currently developing a web based application (joblist) using Javascript and PHP which should allow the photoshop designers to browse and open files/images directly from joblist/web browser into photoshop. The reason I want this instead of browsing folder is that I have a database where I store who worked on which file, when and how long it took. The concept is that, designers will select a file and click on start, as soon as they click on start the original file will open in Photoshop and there will be an entry into database (using PHP).
Once they finish the task they will close the file and click on Finish button. My joblist application will be published in a local server and the file will be open on a local network, so when they save the file it will be saved where the source file is located in (local server). The application should work in both PC and Mac. How to write the code (PHP or Javascript) which can open the file from browser (local server) directly into desktop application e.g. PHotoshop or Illustrator?
I'm working on some javascript to my own use, where I want to create a link to a local file on my computer, but it won't allow me to do that. I will only allow me to link to a website. Is it possible in any way to link to a local file on my computer?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi want to change parent window while modal Window opening or opened
my php code is
Code:
<li>
<div class='newsPopUpModal'>
<a href='#'
[Code].....
When I do the following line in Netscape, the popup loads as it should,
but the parent window usually, but not always, reloads as well.
<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('/cgi-bin/displayimage.cgi?/store/demo/image.jpg&YOUR+PRODUCT%27<b>S+NAME+GOES',
'fullimage', 'WIDTH=420,HEIGHT=405,status=0')">
The original window should not reload, but is, and I have tested it with
both version 4.72 and 7.02, and they both do it. IE does not do it.
The big problem is that the original window has security built into it
so it must be called from the right referring url, but when Netscape
reloads this parent window, it neglects to send the original referring
url, so the original page is replaced with an error page as soon as the
above link is clicked.
Is there any workaround for this, where either Netscape will not reload
the original page, or if it does, at least not lose the referring url?
I'm using window.open to create a secondary window, and everything is
working fine with that. My problem is that as soon as that window is
opened, the parent window scrolls to the top of its page. So when the
user closes the secondary window, they've lost their place in the
parent document.
Is this normal behavior for window.open? Is there a quick way to
prevent it, or is it more likely a problem with my Javascript?
I have a closed box system which opens an html page. The page closes by the
system. I have access to the html page. I added code to open a child window
from this page. However when the parent window closes, the child closes
too. Is there a way to keep the child window open? Yes keep it orphaned.
I am looking for a script that on click of a button Hides the parent window and open a new window/layer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to link to some PDF files from an HTML page that will be
used for a presentation. The user wants to have the windows open up in
Adobe Reader 7.0 at maximum size (not full screen).
I'd rather a more reliable system than simply resixing the window
before hand because I won't always be able to do that before the
presentations.
I can make changes to the Adobe Reader configuration or registry (if
needed) to make the program always open in full screen. but I would
prefer it if I can control the behavior from the HTML link itself.
I have been working on this and cant figure it out.I have an index.html as my main file and I wanted to have a pop-up window that will also open together with the index file. the pop-up window is a notepad like type, file name is clipboard.html.Addon: i started adding code to have the pop-up to stay on the right side of the screen and always on top.
