  It's true, javascript does not give access to a user's file system.
  Cutter


  True, if we are talking client-side scripting. So, the javascript is =
in the html page, downloaded by the visitor, this script cannot access =
the file system OF THE VISITOR. However, if we are talking server-side =
scripting here, where the script is executed on the server, and the =
result is being sent to the visitor, the NOT TRUE. In this case, you =
have access to the file system (according to your access rights).



  Hope this helps.
