I have an html page that is generated by some other application and links

  • 0

I have an html page that is generated by some other application and links together a bunch of images on the file system. This html5 file is NOT served up by a webserver, it’s just local.

Currently, it is using ActiveXObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”) to allow me to look for directories/files on the the filesystem depending on some user input, but of course it is dependent on IE.

Is there something equivalent in jQuery that would allow me to have the same or similar functionality but be a bit more browser independent?

Thanks!

    I don’t think this is possible. This article explains that JavaScript file access is not allowed due to potential malicious usage from websites: Local file access with javascript. JQuery is built upon JavaScript, so the same should be true.
