But then you have to compile a little I/O class that provides javascripters with the two public methods, readfile and writefile. And you also have to trick the JVM into thinking it's writing/reading to/from an url instead of a local file system (so don't use FileInputStreams, use URL objects and theyre streams instead). It's discussed here for instance: http://www.webdeveloper.com/java/java_jj_read_write.html You can copy/paste/compile the code. If it has to run locally as an applet, you should build the URL from the local file system, otherwise, from any web domain. I think, but am not sure, that a good way to return this would be returning a string. Maybe a char array. Anyhow, this will work on any browser where js/java communication is enabled. (and this also solves locales issues, as Java should handle the locales transparently, and provides you with hundreds of ways to handle this on your own) [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/5827]_Mauro[/url] on 05-10-2006 15:29)[/small] Loading...
