How To Open Local File From Webpage
Sep 4, 2008I 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 RelatedOpen XML File On Local Machine With HTML Page
Dec 1, 2010I 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.
Open File From Web Browser (local Server) Directly Into Photoshop
Aug 15, 2010I 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?
XMLHttpRequest IE6 Works Local But Not Live
Mar 25, 2010I've got an external server with an application that retrieves some information to display on a page if available. Data should be returned as a JSon object. I've got this to work locally for all browsers but for some reason when I put it onto a live website it will not work for certain browsers...
Here the code...
Code:
var servletaddress = 'http://www.applicationaddress.com/DataR/';
function getJson (type) {
var httpRequest = getHttpRequest();
[Code]....
If I deploy a *.html file into a locally running Tomcat fro example, the web page requests the data from the external server on [URL] for all browsers I've tested.
If I put this section of code up onto a live environment e.g [URL] the JavaScript will no longer work in all browsers eg IE6 yet still works in Chrome & Firefox...
Normally this would be security settings or something on the browsers I guess but its the same browser window locally as externally.
XMLHttpRequest Script - Works For Local XML Files But Not For External XML Files?
Oct 2, 2010I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?

Code:
window.onload = initAll;
var xhr = false;

Use Client Side .js File To Load A Local .html File?
May 18, 2009I 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.
