cdaly2001 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, Is it possible to access XML data via HTML locally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 What do you mean by "locally"? If you mean, on the client's machine, then it isn't possible. If you mean, on the same machine as the webserver, then you can use AJAX. Of course, HTML itself can't "do" anything - if you want it done client-side JavaScript must be used.

cdaly2001 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for the prompt reply and sorry for being a bit vague. Basically, I've created an XML database of detectors and motors we use on our machine. I want to be able to access this database and display it in operational manuals using HTML. The problem is the user will want to access these manuals on cd or their hard drive aswell as online. When I use the HTTPRequest method to access a file stored in the same directory as my HTML file I.e c:/something/ it tells me access is denied. Any suggestions on a way of doing it or am I going down a blind alley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
