hi :
I have a web site sitting on local C: drive. The home page is c:\mysite\index.html . Inside index.html there is a hyperlink to another web page catalog.html . The html code for the hyperlink is
<a href="catalog.html">Catalog</a>
If I use IE to open c:\mysite\index.html , and then try to click the link, it will not open. IE will just do nothing. The status bar of IE indicated the hyperlink is "file://C/mysite/catalog.html". The mouse pointer will changed to a hand symbol. But clicking it will do nothing.
But if I use Firefox to open c:\mysite\index.html and then click the hyperlink. Viola , it will open catalog.html !
I also noticed that if I host mysite using apache web server, the link is clickable with no problem using IE.
Is there a security setting in IE that will allow clicking of local url such as "file://C/mysite/catalog.html" ?
Regards
Danny
