Hello,

I require a piece of javascript that can detect the letter designated for the CDROM drive (i.e. “D:”).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

What I have are links on an html file that must run video clips located on the CD-ROM.

What I don't know is what letter the user has allocated to the CD-ROM drive. It could be anything.

I cannot copy the video clips into the install directory as they are 600 Mb in total.

The video clips are actually tuition clips for the bagpipes!!


Cheers,

If you want a html file to open video clips on a cd, then where is the html file going to be, (on the cd,web,harddrive already) Because if its on the cd, you dont need anything, you just link as normal.

If its on the harddrive, you cant use php plus you would have to get it there, web would just be HARD, not impossiable but HARD!

Easiest to have it on the disk already! ?

Success!
