You will need specific solutions for each browser with the correct privileges (security settings) enabled.

IE - http://www.4umi.com/web/javascript/fileread.htm
Mozilla/Firefox - http://www.captain.at/programming/xul/ Firefox3 will allow reading of local files for local use.

I've checked out all sorts of different javascript parsers but have not met with a great deal of success with any...

Therefore, I only had one function to verify the name fields, age, email and gender. My question is: if I create a function for each field like the code below, what would be the best way to organize the functions and call them? Would I need one main function and place...

I'm working on some code and am running into brick walls. I'm trying to write out Javascript with Javascript and I've read the clj Meta FAQ and didn't see the answer, read many similar posts (with no luck though), and searched through the IRT.ORG Faqs (www.irt.org/script/script.htm). The Javascript is designed to open an popup window and then inside that window call another script which will resize that window. There may be another...

Hi, I am pretty new to Python and trying to use it for a relatively simple problem of loading a 5 million line text file and converting it into a few binary files. The text file has a fixed format (like a punchcard). The columns contain integer, real, and date values. The output files are the same values in binary. I have to parse the values and write the binary tuples out into the correct file based on a given column. It's a little more...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
