how to load client-side xml file?

I know this generally not recommended, but I'm working in the confines
of the company's intranet.

Goal: permit managers to load an XML file from thier PC into an
intranet ASP.NET webpage where validation and data submit will take
place. I have the page written that allows the user to select a
file. I'm hitting a wall when, after selecting the file, trying to
open a new page and inserting the XML into the page. From there I can
start validating the data. I've been tried to using
Response.Binary Write but it appears that will only work with server-
side files. I also haven't had much luck in trying to open the file
with Javascript. Any suggestions?

That would depend on the company and Intranet.

You don't / CANT open files with javascript...Yo u use the browser to
do that. You can't let javascript handle an XML file until it's on a
server somewhere. Then you can easily play with the file in
JavaScript. But that's all you can do with it. You can't CHANGE the
file with JavaScript or save it to another file. JavaScript sits in a
browser and is limited to it's sandbox. Go and read what JavaScript
Is!

Javascript can be used by Wscript or Cscript and on the server under ASP.

Wrong answer.

Or in a web browser, which might actually be able to read the file.

Hi NG, I'm currently working on a small business database and now it is time to populate it with some data. For this purpose I'll use the LOAD utility.

It would be very cool, if you could take a look at this. :) DEPTFILE has 4 elements:

This may be a really simple problem but I can't seem to figure it out in dotnet. Using asp (old style) I had an app that received a querystring on the server, then parsed out an url from the querystring and sent it back to the window_onload event on the client. The client in this case is really an iframe on the browser. I want to dynamically load the content of a page specified in a querystring inside the iframe. I did this in the past...

Hello everyone. This is quite convoluted, but I'll try to make it simple. I have a couple of bottom-line questions (I guess): 1~ what happens between the Page_Load routine in the code behind of an aspx page and the presentation of the page to the user? 2~ is it true that the engine takes data from the Request.Form and puts them

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.
