I'm using an <A> tag with an onclick event to open a window with JS (window.open)... In FIREFOX, if I click very quickly, multiple windows open. Not a problem in IE.

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.

I 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 am using window.open in an AJAX page and it works in both IE and FF but in the latter the hourglass stays up and both the progress bar and the small animated circle-of-dots graphic keep on running indefinitely in the new window.
I can press the STOP button to get them to stop, but I'm wondering if there is
something else I can do to get rid of this behavior. The page is most
definitely loading properly and completely.
If it matters what I am writing to the new document is an XML document after
being passed through an XSL sheet. Sometimes the XML doc is large enough to
fill several pages of the viewport, but often it is just a few lines and the
problem is the same regardless.

For an in-house web application (it will only be deployed on Firefox
browsers with JavaScript turned on), I need to open a preview window
(which needs to be a separate window, even if Firefox is set to open
targeted links in new tabs) and be able to change the preview window's
location.href from the opening window, even after a new page is loaded
into that window.

I have written a simple code to open up a new window onclick of a button as follows;
function loadExamp()
{
var reqType = getElementValue("reqType", 1);
[code]....
The problem is that this code is working on Google Chrome but not in Firefox and IE. Why is that and how can I resolve this issue.I am using Firefox 3.6.11 and IE 8.0.XX.Also I tried to open a new window using <a href> option with the same URL and its working but the only problem is that I want to pass my next JSP an argument which is only possible with function or script.
I googled it but couldn't find much information except that there is some security problem. For that I have disabled the 'Pop up Bloker' on both Firefox and IE but still not working.When I click my button there is no activity with 'Firefox' but IE gives me error as follows;
Message: Invalid argument.
Line: 74
Char: 2

Firstly I know this issue has been addresses a lot already but as a newbie to HTML and Web Development I am unable to get the idea. according to documentations and solutions proposed on different forums a popup or child window can be only closed using window.close() if it is opened via window.open() function.

cannot get a new (picture) window to open in Firefox without the title and address bars (or anything else, just the image). IE shows just the title bar, with or without the code:
function newWindow()
{window.open('./pageaddress.html','winname','top=20,left=20,directories=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350');}
</script>
The window opens fine, but always shows the address and title bars. I have read the W3 Schools options list (and other posts) and tried both 'no' and '0' as values, without any success. What am I missing and is there any way to make this work - it didn't even work in the W3 Schools 'try it yourself' test page!
I have seen some very nice 'slowly-opening' windows (increasing in size)

I'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 an <input type="file"> field and I would like the file chooser dialog to open automatically after the page loads, for example on onload(). I have found a trick with executing click() in js on the file element but it seems to only work in IE. Are there any methods that would work in FF and other browsers as well?
