I wanted to write a simple page to let me choose a directory and then list
the files in it. The end goal was to make an easy way to copy all the
file names in a directory. I tested with Opera7, Mozilla 1.4 and IE6 -- all
on windows XP Pro
Here is the code. In all three, when I select a file, the complete path
is displayed in the file input box. In Opera, reading the form field gives
me the same full path. But in IE and Moz I get only the filename -- none of
the path information. Code:
I want users to pick a file from a pool (=folder) in which they should be 'locked'. I tried using this method:
<input type="file" name="image1">
Once clicked the browse button, it takes the user to a client folder. I want to take the user to the pool on the server which has the uploaded images. Is this possible?
is it possible to define a default or start up directory with input type="file" field type? If so, is it also possible to filter by another option box selection?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that too.
Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having to browse and select each of them?
Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME way out?
I have some ASP pages on my intranet site providing a helpdesk to my users. As part of logging a helpdesk call I am prompting them to link to a file using input type="file".
The file is on a network drive and the problem is when you click on the browse button it defaults to the clients desktop as the starting point of the browsing process. I would like to set a default location to start browsing eg etwork_serverhelpdesk to avoid confusion. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?
I have a form on which I have a INPUT Type='Reset'. On clicking this button all the fields on the form should reset except a few. Is it possible to do this by setting some property of the control or do I have to specifically write code form that?
I am using freeaspupload to upload an image file. However, i need to grab the path that is in the text box after the client browses to the file. It looks like windows security will only give me the file name. How do i get that entire path?
i need to track the source of a page which user browses ex: aboutus.html, contactus.html in which there is a link to enquiry.php where a user fills out a form. so i need to track which page the user originally came from(aboutus.html or contactus.html)
presently i am using enquiry.php to track the previous page with the following code
i need to know what is the syntax in ASP for the above statement so that i can read the hidden value into a variable called source using Request.Form and later i can read this source variable in php
I have a routine I'm writing to read the contents of a file and modify it. However the file will not parse properly into an array, so I strongly suspect I'm using the wrong character to parse the file. The line of code that is supposed to parse the file is:
arrLines = Split(sFileContent, vbCRLF)
When I view the array, it appears as one continuous line, but when I open the file in a file editor it's very clear there are 15 lines.
I've to got a login script, but in the middle of the verification script, I'd like once the vify has been ok'd to look for a sql file, that has insertion data in it, once the file has been found the asp code must read and carry out the sql command (insert the data in the access db), once done the sql file gets deleted. Code:
Im having a bit of trouble with taking a csv file and sperating each row with a "," because we all know that csv's are serpated by cammas, my problem is the rows are getting messy because say I have for the first Collum "Toy, Really fast", it will seperate the collum name because of the , Is there any way I can remove these or whats the best way. Heres my code right now: Code:
I am developing a web page, in that i have to get user's photo from user and insert it in to database. how to upload this photo from local drive to my server
I am trying to read in an XML file I don't know the node/structure,so I basically just want to load in the file and then print out the entire file on the page through Response.Writes. how do I loop over the nodes if I don't know the names?
strPath=Server.MapPath("ADList1.txt") Set objFSO=Server.CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT") Set objOpenFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath,1) Do While Not objOpenFile.AtEndOfStream Response.Write(objOpenFile.ReadLine() & "<br>") Loop objOpenFile.Close Set objOpenFile=Nothing Set objFSO=Nothing %>
When I try to execute the above code, the code never gets executed. Neither am I shown a script timeout error. After a lot of investigations, I concluded that the code is not getting executed due to the presence of
Set objOpenFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath,1)
If I comment line nos. 3 to 8, then the code gets executed but as expected without any output. Is this happening because of some permission which has not been given to IIS 5.0? If so, what is it? I am working on Windows 2000 Professional.
I would like to know how I could accomplish this without using DB. There's a long text file named "TEST.TXT" The TEST file contains special character 'º' which will be used as pagebreak. I want an ASP page that will read the TEST.TXT file and split it into multiple web pages with navigation control. (eg. <FIRST<PREVIOUS> <NEXT<LAST)
I have a form that updates a text file. This text file writes variables (i.e. username = tom). This file is used to preview an HTML page and when you go to the form the variables are populated into the form fields again.
For some reason when someone else modifies the text file (using the form) I only see the old contents in the form fields. When I look at the preview HTML file, however, everything is fine.Why doesn't the form re-populate with the new info?
i have a variable 'user', and a text file 'users.txt'. how can i search the text file and select the line thats the same as the variable 'user', then put that line into a variable?
I need to create something that will read a text file and send e-mail statements from that text file. I know this is a basic application, but I am not sure where to start with this. The text file already contains all of the information for the statements. It is one file that starts with the customer e-mail address and then separates each statement by an <eob> marker. I need to be able to browse to upload the file and then have the application cycle through and generate all of the e-mails. I don't need to do any formatting to the text file, just read it and send the e-mails. The server currently uses CDOSYS to send other e-mails from a shopping cart application.
I have some messages in a text file.I would like to read one message every day from the text file. My Text file looks something like this
If you take medication for your blood pressure, you may need to be wary of adding certain pain relievers to your system. A class of pain-relieving anti-inflammatory medication often used to treat arthritis may interfere with a common blood pressure medication, according to research. The hash is just for demarcation. As I havent worked much with FileSystem can anyone help me how to go about acheiving the same.
