Using File.openDialog with javascript

Thanks for the link.

I solved the problem on another way ..

var file = document.getElementById("File");

file.type = "file";

this.btn_File.addEventListener("click", getFile.bind(this));

function getFile()

{

file.click();

var Filepath = file.value;

var Filname = Filepath.substr(Filepath.lastIndexOf('\\')+1,Filepath.lastIndexOf('.')+1);

if (Filname != 0)

{window.open("ppt/"+Filname,"","height=400,width=400,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,left=0,top=0");

}

}

i get the path, extrude the filename and open it with a programm used by the pc.

Next step will be to make an own input file component, so i can use it right from the start without the type change.

I know that the file must be in a special folder, buts thats totally ok for my purpose.

So, once you get the path to the file on the user's local drive... what exactly do you intend to do with it?
