Mateo

2006-03-16, 6:20 pm

Hi!


When I write this:

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load("filename.xml");

it works fine.... it opens file etc.....


But, what if my file is not in samefolder.... what if I want to open file by
dialog
and give it's path...

xmlDoc.load("C:\FolderName\filename.xml");


It doesn't wont to open XML file..... why?
How can I enter file path in load() method?


Thanx!

What do you mean ' It doesn't wont to open XML file'?

Do you get an error?
Does the xmlDoc simply appear not to load?
If alert xmlDoc.parseError.reason has it failed to parse?

Try also:-

xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("filename.xml");

It simply does not wont to open XML file.... Problem is I don't know if
xmlDoc object is now undefined or whatever, becouse my JavaScript debugging
in .Net studi doesn't work... Don't know why... But it works when I put
xmlDoc.load("filename.xml"); and it doesnot work when I put
xmlDoc.load("C:\FolderName\filename.xml");

Don't know why:(((((((

Please help!

Sorry:)

What do you mean ' It doesn't wont to open XML file'?
- it means that script simply will not continiue over line with .load()
method

Do you get an error?
-No.

Does the xmlDoc simply appear not to load?
-Yes

If alert xmlDoc.parseError.reason has it failed to parse?
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

xmlDoc.async = "false";


path = document.Form1.txtPath.value;


xmlDoc.load('C:\file.xml');

alert (xmlDoc.parseError.reason);

This parseError.reason can not even be executed.... becouse script crashes
in line
xmlDoc.load('C:\file.xml');
works fine when I put xmlDoc.load('file.xml'); then parseError.reason
returns empty....

Problem is I can not provide more informations becouse my JavaScript
debugger in Vs.Net 2003 doesnt work.
It simply ignores breakpoints!!!

Is this ASP or a local .js file?
If ASP have you enabled debugging in the application configuration?
Have you checked permissions?

With J(ava)Script the \ is used as an escape character so you need
xmlDoc.load("C:\\FolderName\\filename.xml")

Can you answer the questions in my previous post namely:-

Is this ASP or a local .js file?
Have you checked permissions?

Then make sure you use MSXML in an environment like WSH or HTA or ASP
where there are no security restrictions. Then of course you need to
make sure the user the script is run with has the permissions to access
that directory named FolderName on the C drive and the file named
filename.xml in that directory.

Is this ASP or a local .js file?
- client side Java script stored in .js file

If ASP have you enabled debugging in the application configuration?
- debuggingn now works fine....

Have you checked permissions?
- Yes....
