HI,
This makes no sense, but for example if i downloaded a file to your /Downloads folder and i wanted to run file:///…/Downloads/myfile1.txt i could just go:

window.location = "file:///.../Downloads/myfile1.txt;

But if i had say 10, or it was generated by a script.. how could i do effectively this.. open …myfile1.txt => …myfile1.txt
I tried running a jquery .Each() statement with an array of file names.. but it only opens the first one.

window.open();

That would leave me with hundreds of open windows, which i dont want :/

BTW. I’m not doing the file:/// but its not a http:// its local URL Scheme 🙂

Thanks!!

    If what you’re trying to do is open a series of URLs, one after another, in a single window, then I see a couple of options.

    When you loop through the list, you could use window.open on each one, but give the window a name and use the same name for each — that way it would open a single extra window and load each URL in it. Note that it might well start loading one before the previous one has had time to finish loading, unless you add a pause of some kind, or use a callback approach.

    The second approach is to load them, one after another, into an iframe on your page. Same timing issues apply.
