Javascript can access the file system for IE4+ through filesystemobject and activeX objects. You'll be accessing your own filesystem, so you can ignore the warning that pops up saying a malicious script is trying to access the system. Alternatively you can uncheck the option to prompt for activex script prompting and you'd avoid the warning
Here's a primer:
//www.webreference.com/js/column71/
The filesystem objects and functions can give you the directory information you require.
Any questions let me know. |
So that works for the file if it is on a CD, but not on a server, right ? And also I guess only on a PC and not on a Mac ? |

Yeah, ActiveX is not the way to go. It's a dead code. Only works for IE and Windows. As you've already figured out, what you want to do can't be reasonably done using only client-side.
