How To Load Client Side Xml File Using Xmlhttp?

[sushilborhade]

Hi,

I want to load client machine xml file into my html page using XMLHTTP.

If I open the my file by giving

D:\xmlhttpPRG\loadXML.html

then it loads the xml file. This works fine but if I open this file by giving URL ie.

http://127.0.0.1/xmlhttpPRG/loadXML.html

then its gives an error "Permission denied"

 

><script language="javascript"> 
       var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); 
       xmlhttp.Open("GET", "file:///C:/sample.xml", false); 
       xmlhttp.Send(); 
       alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
</script>

 

So, how can I load client machine xml file into my html page using URL.

If anybody knows the solution then pls send me the solution.

 

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums, sushilborhade!

 

To browse to a URL on your own machine (http://127.0.0.1/), you'd need 1) a web server of some kind running on your PC, and 2) the port that the web server uses must be open in your PC's firewall.

 

I suspect you're probably not running a web server on your local PC.

Welcome to the forums. In case you are looking for a web server that you can run locally to test out scripts and such before they are posted, try a google search for XAMMP.

Yes if you need to install a web server on your computer xampplite is very easy.
