I am trying to display files from the local directory using javascript. Is this possible? As earlier i used the files which were inside the project using this format : Url : './files/'. Worked pretty well with javascript. Now i want to access files from outside the project eg. Url : "d:/" But javascript has some restrictions on that. How can i load files from d: drive using javascript?
$(document).ready(function(){
URL = 'd:/content/abc.pdf'; /// ??????
});
No, this is not possible. When running in the context of a web page, Javascript cannot read files which are not available on the web.
