Open a file:// protocol with UNC paths in HTML page
- by ace
Hi - I'm trying to open a file located on a networkshare by giving the anchor tag path =
file://///servername/folder/file.docx
This works in IE8 and i'm able to open the file in word, however in Firefox nothing happens. I believe it's due to some secruity settings in Firefox. I tried about:config and turning off the checkloaduri value. But it didnt solve the problem.
Does anyone know how I can make this work in both IE and Firefox.
