FYI, this code will only work in IE, not chrome or firefox, and will only work when you lower the security level enough.

This code suggest you want to access the local drive, big change the webserver is not allowing this.
Unless this is internal use like a webbased file explorer, no body in there right mind will allow this to run on there computer.

What are you trying to accomplish?

JK and Ryan: Thanks to both of you for your responses. In my project, I need to upload some files into a shared folder in server using FileLoad in an aspx file. This is my JS version to check if the file exists. Since it is security-sensitive, I might to consider something alternative. Thanks again.
