I cannot see that there is a property where I can pull the file name from the document. What I am trying to do is where I have a local file located at c:\documents and settings....yada yada...\somefile.html, I need to pull the info somefile.html out of there and place that in a variable. Anyone ever done something like that?

Are you trying to access the file itself or are you trying just to retrive a string with the location of the file from some place on the page where it already exists?

I am trying to setup bookmarking. When a user goes to a page (this will all be on their local harddrive aldo), I want that when they get to a page that it stores a bookmark. So I want to grab the file name and not the entire path name and store that file name to pull back into a hyperlink at a later time.

can't you simply use window.location for that and just cut away everything before the last backslash?

How would I go about that?

[TwoD]

myVar = window.location.toString().substring(window.locati on.toString().lastIndexOf("/")+1)

That'll return everything after the last / in the location.

If you are using some kind of serverside script and don't want the stuff after ? use this instead.

myVar = window.location.toString().substring(window.locati on.toString().lastIndexOf("/")+1,window.location.toString().lastIndexOf('? '))
