My HTML application file F:\\relroot\\libname.lib\\textapp.hta
(name altered) contains the following function:
function fullNameOfFile(filename) {
var fso = newMedium(); return fso.GetAbsolutePathName(filename)
}
When I run the application via Open
or double-click it in the directory,
fullNameOfFile("../etc.txt")
returns "F:\\relroot\\etc.txt"
[runs perfectly!].
When I run it via Open with:Microsoft HTML Apln Host
, however:
fullNameOfFile("../etc.txt")
returns "C:/Windows/etc.txt"
[wrong number!].
How should I code to get to work regardless of how the application is run?
I think I might have "Aspie-rigged" a solution (or maybe two)
Apparently opening the HTML application via Open (or double-click) presets the "current" directory to the directory containing the app while opening via Open With : Microsoft® HTML Application Host uses a default directory (like « C:\\WINDOWS\\system32
»)
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var wasDir = shell.currentDirectory /* OPTIONAL: push original current directory
to allow restoration later */
var swDL = false; // for differences in device file format
var splitter = (swDL ? '/' : '\\') // foreslash v. backslash
var slashes = (swDL ? '///' : '//') /* slashes between scheme/protocol
and authentication/host */
var lhref = swDL ? unescape(location.href) : document.URL;
var newDir = lhref.slice(location.protocol.length + slashes.length,
lhref.lastIndexOf(splitter));
/*
// uncomment this block for an "inside window"
alert("Entering Directory: «" + wasDir + "»\n" +
"Protocol/Scheme: «" + location.protocol + "»\n" +
"Location HREF: «" + lhref + "»\n" +
"Trial Directory: «" + newDir + "»");
*/
shell.currentDirectory = newDir
It seems to work like a charm on my system (Dell PC, Internet Explorer/¿Edge). I threw in some comments as well in case the next user needs to tweak it for their system.
