Hello,
I want to make an application that allows the user to not only browse for music on there C drive, etc, and then play them back. But also to allow the user to devise a playlist which will play back in their desired sequence. The browsed song(s) will load up and play within the browser via media player plugin. Also if there is away to save the settings of each session, that would be great too. Now these files will not be pre-programmed like an array. I would like to be able to search for music files to be played and also stored in the useres own specified sequence. No pre-programmed list. Just like Media player. Does anyone know of a script or a way to do this?

Help is always appreciated,

With basic javascript? no. Maybe if you wrote it in visual VB or C++ or something.

The fact that you want your Javascript to have access to a user's C drive, in and of itself, is not allowed and will result in a security violation error.

Sorry.

That's when you want to upload a file via a form. Even then, the Javascript doesn't have access to the file or the user's directory.

Half the battle is using the right tool for the right job.

In this case, Javascript is the wrong tool, dude.

Cheers.
