Advanced JavaScript with Internet Explorer: Working with Drives and More - A better approach to retrieving a list of drives using JavaScript
(Page 2 of 6 )
Now I am going to provide a better approach for displaying the results. The entire code for the sample is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
7.1">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
<script id=clientEventHandlersJS language=javascript>
<!--
function Button1_onclick() {
var locator = new ActiveXObject ("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
var service = locator.ConnectServer(".");
var properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM
Win32_LogicalDisk");
var e = new Enumerator (properties);
document.write("<table border=1>");
for (;!e.atEnd();e.moveNext ())
{
var p = e.item ();
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Name + "</td>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Size + "</td>");
document.write("</tr>");
}
document.write("</table>");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button"
name="Button1" language=javascript onclick="return Button1_onclick()">
</body>
</html>
The above code is very similar to the code provided in the previous section. The only difference is that I am displaying the details of each drive (drive name and size) in a table (rather than simply using a <BR> tag).
