Default Iframe to local directory or another way


I would like to display a local directory in an iframe or a webpage. I
have tried a number of different paths in an iframe and that doesn't
work. I don't know how to call info from a local directory in html or
java but I know it is possible because I have been to websites that
display my C:\ directory as an example of this but I can't find one
now. Can anyone help!






Sorry i didn't introduce myself.

You can try pointing to file:///C or in a frameset, but it will only
work on Windoze machines. It also won't (or shouldn't) work in most
browsers (esp when done thru JS) due to security restrictions, and
anything on the users computer is completely off limits to JS in all
but the worst browsers.

Your browser has lax security, or you have changed your security
settings. Are you sure it wasn't a file upload dialog?

Nah that won't work. I guess I need to go about this differently.

I'm trying to make a page so that one you go to it it displays your own
favorites linkable.
