FAQ Topic - How can I access the client-side filesystem?

Security means that by default you can't. In a more restricted
enviroment, there are options. For example, using LiveConnect
to connect to Java with Netscape, and using the FileSystemObjec t
in IE. Check http://groups.google.com/

subject. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...FileSystem.asp http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/j...pptowin32.html

May I ask what is the point of sending indiviual random topics?
Why not post the complete FAQ once a month or week?

They aren't random topics, it is posting one topic a day in order. The
purpose is to allow people to see a single topic and if there are
questions/corrections then it can be done one topic at a time.
Why not post the complete FAQ once a month or week?
I thought it was going to be this style posting (one a day) plus the
weekly postings.
Plus I found this topic to be kinda weak.
In what way? That is why it was posted one topic at the time. Would you
have noticed this entry and thought it weak if it had been posted as
part of the entire FAQ?

If this piecemeal posting is to continue, it may be well to adjust some
of the entries so that they stand better on their own.
Security means that by default a Web browser cannot. In a more
restricted environment, there are options. For example, using
LiveConnect to connect to Java with Netscape, using the
FileSystemObjec t in IE, and using javascript in WSH.
The spelling error should in any case be fixed; while the intent is
obvious to a human, the entry would be missed by a CtrlF search for the
word.

purpose is to allow people to see a single topic and if there are
questions/corrections then it can be done one topic at a time.
Discussions about the one topic does have it advantages in that the
aditional information in that thread can be incorporated into the FAQ
and be part of the next post. Has something been agreed on this? I'm
just afraid that we will get the same discussions about a certain topic
every time it is posted and that the person who is responsible for the
FAQ does not look at the responses on the FAQ topic every day, which I
understand, but is important in this form.
If the FAQ were only posted once a week or month, then at least it would
be easier for the FAQ maintainer to keep an eye on the responses and
update the FAQ.

That would be good.

Well in this case the FAQ hardly answers anything.
It doesn't really anwer why it can't. It does not state the versions of
Netscape or IE for which there are options. Even if there are no options
for other major browsers it would be nice to mention that.
A brief example of LiveConnect and FileSystemObjec t would be good for a
FAQ as well.
But then it gives a link to google groups search and to previous
discussions. If those discussions are important than the conclusions of
those discussions should be part of the FAQ.
I'm sorry, but for these reasons I thought it was weak.
