file:// links

[Ernesto Morin]

Not sure if somebody can help me here. Our company develops a web based
system that lets client have interaction with it. One of the things that we
have is the ability for a user to create links to local files on there
machine. They then can click these links and launch the document in a
iFrame. Anyway these links no longer work. Did something change in IE
security settings?

Thanks,
Ernie

Re: file:// links

Hi Erneto,

You can start by looking to the HTML control file field what is in Html the
control

<INPUT type="file">

There are pages enough on Internet how to set this in the Javascript you
need, because this is all client side. And because of the fact that the
client does it there are no security problems.

I hope this helps?

Re: file:// links

All of these examples are on uploading files to a server. My issue is that
I am not doing this. I have a tree control that let's a user create links
in it. One of the options it that the user can create a link to a file on
their machine. This is the part that is not working. Any body have any
ideas? Or maybe this was a security risk the Microsoft patched. Just
trying to find out.

Hi Ernesto,

To understand it, what is the difference with the favorites?
