My problem is giving a link to a directory, in an inner network. It is working for IE 6 but i need to do this for especially for IE7 and IE8.
My internal Link is like that: \CompName\Report\
I tried to do this with : file://…. but it didn’t work. Any ideas?
There are several different ways to use the
fileURI schema and it does respect relative paths.They are however, platform specific, so may only work on one of windows/mac/linux.
Make sure you get the relative path correctly.
You may need to double up any
/for each “\” you have – UNC paths start with\\, so this would translate to////, so:Should work, assuming it is a shared directory on a computer called
CompNameand that you have the correct permissions to access it.
