Unless I’m seriously mistaken you can’t access the local file system using javascript in a web browser, that would be a system security violation. ---

are you asking for Java, or JavaScript? Two totally different mediums Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

It appears they are talking about Java. They said Java, and everything they said sounds more like a programming language than a web language, so all signs point to Java. Unfortunately, I don’t know Java. I wish I did. ---

I think Albuquerque should fix their signs. EVERYONE takes wrong turns at Albuquerque, it CAN’T just be coincidence. ---

If we’re talking about a stand alone Java App then that’s a whole different ball game, but a Java applet running in a browser still can’t access the local file system. > \*Originally posted by lostinbeta \* > \*\*It appears they are talking about Java.

Well I don’t know too much about Java, but isn’t Java used for programming as well as creating applets? ---

Right, that’s why it’s important to know if we’re talkin’ about a Java application or a Java applet. Two entirely different critters, written with the same language, but two different sets of rules re: access to the local file system. > \*Originally posted by lostinbeta \* > \*\*Well I don’t know too much about Java, but isn’t Java used for programming as well as creating applets? \*\* ---

Ah, I misread your statement, I thought you were stating that it was a Java applet. Sorry. “my bad” ---
