I am trying to open a spreadsheet file using javascript in a web page. I know there is a file object but the things I have tried so far have not worked...

window.open("file:../../photos/Tenure.xls") - gets the file as gibberish in a browser

AND

var fso, f1;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f1 = fso.GetFile("c:\\Temp\Tenure.xls");
f1.open("w+")

Suggestions?

Thanks
jw :cool:
