Javascript :Access Denied Error

3 New Member
Hi,

I have an HTML form with a browse button for file upload. If in the text I directly type the file name then:
1. If I type full path, e.g d:\abc.pdf, then hitting submit works fine.
2. If I type just the file name, e.g abc.pdf, then hitting submit hangs the browser. Javascript error says : Access denied.
This problem is occuring in IE7. Works fine with firefox. I tried changing the browser setting like this : Tools>Internet Options> Security>Custom Level>Miscellan eous>>Access data source across domain : Prompt. It didnt change anything.

I know what the problem is, but I dont know how to solve this. At least the browser should not hang because of javascript error. I do have backend validation for this file. I just want to escape javascript error.

Thanks,
Shishir

the page doesnt exist at all.
Even if it does, i get the same error in both case(same directory/different directory).

So in all case, I am getting this same error.

What do you mean, the page doesn't exist? By page, I meant the HTML page containing the input file element.

I actually meant the 'file' to be uploaded, not the 'page'.

I can't reproduce this error, but the file name should be selected using the Browse button. You can prevent users from entering into the file input box, if you want.
