I need to create folder,copy it and delete.
So I’ve created several javascript functions – to get path to the folder, delete folder,create and copy folder.
But when I try to run it in google chrome I’ve got an exception
I thought it was problem with ActiveX. But in IE it doesn’t work either.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script type="text/javasript">
function onFolder(){
var ob = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var name = document.getElementById("idtextbox1").value;
var path = document.getElementById("idtextbox2").value;
var x = path + "\\" + name;
return x;
}
function onCreate(){
var ob = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var path = onFolder();
var x = ob.CreateFolder(path);
}
function onCopy(){
var ob = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var source = onFolder();
var dest = document.getElementById("idtextbox3").value;
ob.CopyFolder(source,dest + "\\");
}
function onDelete(){
var ob = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var folder = onFolder();
ob.DeleteFolder(folder);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Folder name<input type="text" id="idtextbox1">
<br>
Destination<input type="text" id="idtextbox2">
<br>
Copy destination<input type="text" id="idtextbox3">
<br>
<input type="button" id="idbutton1" value="Create" onClick="onCreate()">
<input type="button" id="idbutton2" value="Copy" onClick="onCopy()">
<input type="button" id="idbutton3" value="Delete" onClick="onDelete()">
</body>
</html>
What’s the problem? Is it ActiveX? Because I think javascript functions are correct.
The big problem is that you are using chrome Chrome. ActiveX only works in IE because it is a non-standard function. And for what you are trying to do, the security level has to be on low which is very unconventional. JavaScript is just not a good language to be trying to access or update a computers file system.
