Detect drive letter in JavaScript? 1

[Ayac]

Hi!

Do you know if it is possible? I am launching an installation program from a CD that suppose to copy its files to the hard drive C:\
The autorun script launches a web browser to display an html menu and from there to trigger the installation process. Is there a way in JavaScript where I can tell the CD is now in drive D:\ or V:\? or whatever people call it - it could be anything that is my problem, because when I would copy the files, I need the drive letter... a complete UNC path to copy the files properly...

How about this?

var drive = location.href; // say "file:///c:/docs/doc.html
drive.replace("file:\/\/\/",""); // Cut the "file:///"
drive.replace(/\/.*/,""); // Cut the "/docs/doc.html"

Works only with "/" separators.
