how to include local js file

[HopfZ]

This bookmarklet tries to load a local js file to a page.

javascriptfunction(){
var s=document.createElement('script');
s.setAttribute('src','file:///C:/abc.js');
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);
})()

But it doesn't work in remote web-pages. Is there a way to make this
work? Or it's not allowed due to security reason?

})()

s.setAttribute('src','file:///C:/abc.js');

I believe this is a security feature of Javascript.

If you could write a remote script to include a file from the local
hard drive, you could steal just about anything from that hard drive.

A script can write to and read from cookies on the local hard drive,
for its own domain, but I think that's about it.

Why don't you try using xmlhttprequest object to grab from the local
box

var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest;
xmlHttp.open("GET", "/C:/abc.js", false);
xmlHttp.send(null);
return {url: url, content: xmlhttp.responseText;}

Note on IE7 you'll need to use their activeX XHR object

Bookmarklet (favlet) shares the same security zone as the current page
in the browser. So if you have a local HTML page currently displayed
in your browser (file:///...) then you should be able to use local
files in your bookmarklet as well (after security warning on IE /
privilege request dialog on Gecko). Otherwise withing the default
security settings you are out of luck.
