[CLOSED] load local file clientside

[yobnet]

Hi,

In our application client chooses files to upload. We want to provide preview for users for pdf and image files. Based on this preview user will decide to upload files or not.

We tried to use iframe inside panel. It does not load file. If we try to keep file in application subfolder and give path like "../folder1/file1.pdf". It works.

          <ext:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" Title="File Viewer" Closable="true" Border="true"   Height="100" Padding="6">
                                                <AutoLoad Mode="IFrame" Url="File:///D:\abc\file1.pdf" AutoDataBind="true">
                                                </AutoLoad>
                                              
                                            </ext:Panel>

How can we show preview client side?

Thanks & Regards

Hello, yobnet!

Unfortunately you can't use a local path as a value of AutoLoad property. This is because of limits of JavaScript security. Scripts are permitted access only to data in the current document or closely related documents (generally those from the same site as the current document). No access is granted to the local file system, the memory space of other running programs, or the operating system?s networking layer.
