Access Local Files with Local Javascript [duplicate]

Answer 1

This worked for me in Firefox...

Adapted code from this site: http://www.h-online.com/security/services/Firefox-Mozilla-Demo-Reading-local-files-via-local-HTML-files-761851.html

Read Local File


If a window displays the content of your local file C:\test.txt
the demo worked. If no additional window appears, it failed. You can
close this window now.
