How do I upload an image that is located on the web to a different webpage without manually downloading and uploading it?
Example: Using the Chrome browser I want to upload the Wikipedia logo onto this post. I copy the URL of the image, https://www.wikipedia.org/portal/wikipedia.org/assets/img/Wikipedia-logo-v2.png, and on this page I click Image and paste the URL in the Upload File Dialog but then I get an error.
Screenshot of error at Chrome's Open File Dialog:
I used to be able to just paste the URL of a remote image and it would upload it as if it was a local file (probably downloading it to the Windows temporary internet files folder).
I'm not sure what happened, but when I try this now I get an error stating that the "The RPC has failed and did not execute" (translated from Dutch). Searching the internet for this error related to Chrome uploads gave no results.
Is my computer being weird, or have I been using a functionality that shouldn't have worked in first place?

I try to use live preview of my code.I installed the Five Server extention on VsCode but when I open the live preview the page doesn't allow the use of the css file
Google error (Ctrl + Shift +I>Console): "Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:/Users/giann/OneDrive/%CE%A5%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE%B3%CE%B9%CF%83%CF%84%CE%AE%CF%82/code/code%20exercise/Exercise-6/styles/style.css"
I think that if I upload the file to a cloud service the page might recognise it but I don't know any
I use Google Chrome Dev (109.0.5410.0) on Windows 10.
After recent update I noticed that I am unable to open any .html file from my local disc. Let me describe the scenario.
For example:
In my desktop there is a file as C:\Users\soumyadipd\Desktop\test.html
Now if I drag-and-drop the file to chrome then it opens using the URL file:///C:/Users/soumyadipd/Desktop/test.html in address bar.
But if I double click the file to open then the file failed to open because the URL is http://%22c/Users/soumyadipd/Desktop/test.html%22"
Anyone faced this problem ? Or is it a Chrome bug? Or any other solution is there?
I am having problem in HTML . My Image is not showing in browser (Firefox) when html file is opened through live server extension (VS code).It throws a Security error that html file can't link to image. I want to use image as background.
My html file is folder in D: drive.
Path = D:/myhtml/index.html
And my image is in F: drive
Path = F:/mountain.png
my img tag is
<img src="f:/mountain.png" alt="mountain"/>
But when I open html file directly from file explorer image shows up.
Please help to solve this problem.
Live server in made to behave like a real web server (one that is online on the web, called via http(s), and does not have access to your local hard drive file system "the Windows way" with F: etc.
Going to F:// is only possible on your own machine and will never work online. Browsers have built in a way for you to browse your local files like that. Web servers don't have this feature.
Use HTML file paths, meant for the web server:
Absolute path: https://example.com/images/mountain.png (path to an online destination which could be another domain than yours)
Relative path: images/mountain.png (relative to where your html file is located on your own web server)
Relative path to a folder outside of where your html is located: ../../etc/images/mountain.png
I have a Google Drive app, which is registered as my default opener on Google Drive. This works perfectly fine when opening files using drive.google.com - When I open a file with my App, the app gets given permission to open the file and I can see that in the drive.google.com web interface.
However I recently tested this on a chromebook, and when I open a file using the Files app, I get sent to my app, however it gets a 'File Not Found' error. When I check the permissions for that file, my app hasn't been given access to it.
If I open the file using drive.google.com and then try opening using the files app again, it works since my app has been given access to the file when I opened it using drive.google.com
Seems there is a bug in the Files app on Chrome OS here, where it doesn't set the permissions to give the app opening the file permissions to access it, whereas the web interface does that correctly. Has anyone else run into this and/or should I report this as a bug to Google?
Using ChromeOS 5116.115.4 + Chrome 33.0.1750.152
This was indeed a bug, and it's fixed in the upcoming chrome 34: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=332332
I am using HTML 5 Geolocations API's for tracking location however I am getting the following error on the Geolocation icon in Chrome Browser
"This Page has been blocked from tracking your Location"
I went to the Preferences and Setting's Page but did not find any help.
In my case the problem was that I opened the HTML file from the file system (file:///...). Browsers generally try to prevent accessing personal information (which includes location) from local files, so you have to serve the file through a web server (even if it is local).
One simple way to serve a static website located in your filesystem is SimpleHTTPServer if you have Python installed. Just navigate to the folder using the command prompt, and say python -m SimpleHTTPServer, and then you can view the file on localhost:8000.
Even I was facing the same problem. One of the solution is to open to file in another browser, I tried in Firefox and it worked fine. Another solution is to open the file through your WAMP server (Local host).
There is a good article here about Geolocation API. You have to go to chrome://settings/content and there, you can find Location information. You should be able to find the exceptions and manage them there.
