hi ....

for security reasons you cannot do that with standard javascript ... may be there are ActiveX Controls or advanced Mozilla-privileges that may allow deleting files ... but with standard javascript you cannot do that ... imagine a website that deletes files from your system :) ... nobody wants that ... what is your original problem? you don't want something have cached?

kind regards

... with that solution we avoid reading the file from local cache through appending a unique value as querystring ... a simple way to achieve that goal :)

glad to help you with that ... post back to the forum anytime you have more questions

kind regards
