    how to load client-side xml file?

    I know this generally not recommended, but I'm working in the confines
    of the company's intranet.

    Goal: permit managers to load an XML file from thier PC into an
    intranet ASP.NET webpage where validation and data submit will take
    place. I have the page written that allows the user to select a
    file. I'm hitting a wall when, after selecting the file, trying to
    open a new page and inserting the XML into the page. From there I can
    start validating the data. I've been tried to using
    Response.Binary Write but it appears that will only work with server-
    side files. I also haven't had much luck in trying to open the file
    with Javascript. Any suggestions?

      That would depend on the company and Intranet.

      Post some (if not all) of the suspect (client side) code?

          You don't / CANT open files with javascript...Yo u use the browser to
          do that. You can't let javascript handle an XML file until it's on a
          server somewhere. Then you can easily play with the file in
          JavaScript. But that's all you can do with it. You can't CHANGE the
          file with JavaScript or save it to another file. JavaScript sits in a
          browser and is limited to it's sandbox. Go and read what JavaScript
          Is!

              Javascript can be used by Wscript or Cscript and on the server under ASP.

                      Or in a web browser, which might actually be able to read the file.
