Using iframe with local files in Chrome

by

I’m sorry to say you that I’ve tried during weeks to solve this issue (I needed it for a project) and my conclusion is that it’s not possible.

There are a lot of problems arround local access through javascript with chrome, and some of them can be solved using --allow-file-access-from-files and --disable-web-security, including some HTML5 offline features, but I definitely think there’s no way to access local files.

I recomend you not to lose your time trying to circunvend this and to try to post messages wich you can interpret into the inner pages, so you can do the DOM modifications there.
