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?

I am trying to write code a page which will randomly generate links to sound files. I want the user to be able to click on the link and then hear the sound file without a separate window opening up, or the page changing. The following code generates the links correctly, and some of the code allows files to be played in the same window. But only when the file is specified i.e. not randomly generated. I can't figure out how to combine the two things i.e. generating links randomly, and playing the file in the same window.
Code:
<html>
<!-- code for random links -->
<script language="JavaScript">
function randomsound(){

I am searching for a cross-browser way (the most recent browsers are fine) to use javascript to open a new window even though I do not know the file I want to call. I do, however, know the HTML code I want output in the new window. It would look like:

I have a .js file, we want to make it to load a html file right next to it, both files are on client system. I couldn't find any such examples and some posts talked about JavaScript security issues, I wonder if it is related to what I want.
Someone said .js file is not really JaveScript file, though Microsoft named it 'JavaScript'.
note that I am trying to "call" .html file from the .js file, not embed html code in .js.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhile cleaning my computer, I notice that I have a lot of files that are marked as
LOCAL file under File type. Does anyone have a clue as to how to open these? My cleaning software is flagging these files as files that are junk files that need to be deleted. After looking further, instead of just deleting the files, it is because I have not set any file association to open these files with. Any one have a clue as to which program opens them?
I'm using window.open and as soon as I click on the link to open the new window, my original page content is replaced with '[object]'.

I am looking to have a link open a closeable window that is contained within a browser window. If you click on the "sizing charts" link on this website, this is exactly what I am looking to do:

The window is contained within the current browser window, it can be dragged around, but not outside the parameters of the browser window.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a site where one of the links I have set up to open a pop up window which will display Terms & Agreement information, at the bottom there is a check box and a submit button for users to click on if they agree to the terms. I was able to get that working but the thing is when the user clicks in the check box and hits submit I want them to be directed to a page which has a form on it but I wanted the page to open in the original (Parent) window. This is where I am lost cause I found some coding which will open the page with the form in the pop up window but Ideally once they agree to terms and hit submit I'd like the pop up window to disappear and the new page open in the Parent window... is this possible below is the coding I'm using.
Here is the form:
<form method="get" action="this is where my link will go" onsubmit="return yes_no(this.form) " name="Agree">
<INPUT name="agree" name="agree" value="agree" type="checkbox"> I agree to terms
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Accept Terms">

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.

For a project I am working on, I need to retrieve links from html
documents. The easy part is to obtain 'plain' links like <A
HREF="http://site/path/document">, but when those links are
javascript'ized, the only robust solution needs to load the javascript
and dom document representation in the same way that browsers do. For
example, links in the form:
<A HREF="javascript:function_declared_before("arguments"));>
First I though that using spidermonkey (the mozilla javascript
interpreter) should be enough, but in that case, I dont have the
document structure elements (like document, window, document.history,
document.form.element, etc), so I tried parsing the document using a
library to build a tree representation of it, but that leads me to the
same problem again, that is, I have to represent all tree nodes as
javascript entities.
Anybody here have worked on a similar problem? What tools do you
think I should take a look?
