iframe

ComputerSlayer · Feb 5, 2005

Hi All,

I want to put a link on my website so when someone clicks on it, it shows the contents of their 'C' drive and they can effectivly browse their computer. I believe it is called an iframe.
Could someone post the code and an iddiots guide, and l mean a real iddiots guide on where to place everything.

Thanks

Terry

IFrame is something completely different. Iframe or inline frame is a part of your website (a box) that loads a different website. It is used to control specific content in a specific box. If you want to make something like that you might try:

Code:

<a href="file:///C:/" target="myIframe">Files on disk</a>

<iframe src="" style="width: 300px; height: 300px;" id="myIframe name="myIframe"></iframe>

Is this what you are thinking of?

<html>
<input type="file" />
</html>

Thanks,

Vragabond. What does all that code mean in english? Where do i place the code? Can i place a small image and make a hyperlink from that image to the code so when i click on the image it will display the contents of the hard drive 'C' and browse it.

Thanks again

i dont understand, why do you want to let the user browse the C drive?.

use what clive c says.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title> browse C Drive </title>
</head>
<body>
[COLOR=red]
<form name="form1">
<input type="file" />
</form>
[/color]
</body>
</html>

Just an <iframe> will do, take a look at

http://www.ssi-developer.net/design/show-hard-drive.shtml

for an example. It doesn't seem to work on Firefox though. And it's utterly pointless.
