The security issues might not be your concern, but they are the browser's :). The client's browser won't let you do that because it is a security threat to the client.

Nope that is not possible for security reasons. Access client files with javascript would have lead to serious security issues if it was possible.

I know you can use FSO in bad IE browser but you should avoid doing that.
