Open/Play Server side files

[Asharudeen]

Hi,

I just want to know is there any way to open the server side files with the
respective programs via jquery/php/javascript.

For eg, if a text file is in server side we need to open it via our notepad
or any text editor. Similarly images via paint. Similary open Audio/Video
files with the respective programs.

I believe, we can view the text/html/image files as a html page by using
ajax load functions (.load()), but we couldnot open the audio/video files.
Is there any way to do as I mentioned above.

Thanks in Advance.

All you need to do is sent an appropriate HTTP response header, i.e.,
with the corresponding mime-type - everything else will be handled by
your browser's mapping of mime types to default actions.
