function publish(text) { $('#helpdiv').prepend(text); } function get_help(topic) { $.get(topic, publish); } <p>Hi. <a href="#" onclick="get_help('inline-help.html'); return false;">click here for more help.</a></p> <div id="helpdiv"></div> I've inherited this chunk of HTML and javascript above (snippet). It is/was going to be used as local help. Currently it is online only and it works fine. However, when I copy the files locally, I get "Permission Denied" in Internet Explorer and in Chrome doesn't do anything when I "click here for more help". What it's supposed to do is load the help content

I'm just trying on the task, file manipulation system using java script. As I was referred from W3C File API( https://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/ ), we can only read local files like var file = "test.txt"; function readTextFile(file) { var readFile; if(window.XMLHttpRequest){ // for new browsers readFile = new XMLHttpRequest(); }else{ //for old browsers like IE5 or IE6 readFile = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } readFile.open("GET", file, true); readFile.onreadystatechange = function() { if(readFile.readyState === 4) { if(readFile.status === 200 || readFile.status == 0) { //text will be

I am loading a local html file as the src for a NativeScript WebView component. Contained within the html file are script tags which reference javascript files that are also local resources (bundled within the app). The html file loads into the WebView just fine, but the referenced script file (mylib.js) does not. I suspect a pathing problem but I have tried almost every variation I can think of to no avail. My project is actually a NativeScript-Vue project and is as follows: App.vue <template> <Page @loaded="onPageLoaded"> <ActionBar title="Welcome to WebView"/> <GridLayout> <WebView ref=

I'm building an application in an environment where I'm restricted to using the local file system and a browser (i.e. running a server isn't an option). I have a generic 'go back' link on numerous pages that mainly just calls history.back() . It looks something like the following: function goBack(evt) { // Check to see if override is needed here // If no override needed, call history.back() history.back(); } $('#my-back-button').click(goBack); This code works fine in Firefox and IE6 (don't ask), but fails in Chrome. Any suggestions as to why and/or possible workarounds? I've also tried history

I have an API documentation lying around on my Harddrive and to ease my workflow, I have written a simple script that modifies the page for my needs. I've developed it using FireBug on FireFox. @include -ing webpages works correctly, but Greasemonkey does not seem to detect pages on the local file-system? I would like to have an include like // @include *R13/Python*R13/* Which should match for example file:///Z:/Eigene%20Dateien/Cinema4D/Documentations/R13/Python%20R13/modules/c4d/index.html But it is not recognized. How can I achieve that the userscript runs on local html files, too? Thanks

I am new to javaScript. I have already understood how to create object from JSON-file with JSON.Parse() and now I need to load multiple local JSONs into array. I've been googling my problem for a while, but everything that I found was related to single file. Is there any way to do this in pure JS without any libraries like jQuery and etc.? P.S.: There is no need to work with web-server or else, the code is running locally. To do this, you need to first get the actual files. Then, you should parse them. // we need a function to load files // done is a "callback" function // so you call it once
