in reply to Check Existence of a File

I hope not. I don't want your CGIs, nor your JavaScript to be able to see what do or don't I have on my disk.

"Link to a batch file on the user's computer" sounds suspicious enough by itself. What are you trying to do???

    I'm with jenda. What kind of hat is this question wearing? Page implies a website, so no, a website should not be able to see a file on my computer, unless I'm running my own local webserver. Please explain.
