Hi,

Need to create a program using Javascript to read the binary file located in the PC(C or D drive) and copy the file contents to a variable in Java Script and send the file data to server. Can this be done without using Active X contols?
Am using 'file' input type in HTML 1.0 for getting the path of the file.

Hi Kavitha,

This can be done using combination of Ajax and JSON.

just pass the file path to the server,

Read the content of the file in a string variable

and return that string in JSON format.

Thanks,
Vijay
