Opening network shared links using browsers other than IE

nikhilphilipJul 18 2011 — edited Jul 25 2011
Hi All,
Recently I have come across a hurdle with one of our applications. I am trying to open a network file from my apex application using a link. This seems to be working with IE but does not work with any other browser - like firefox, chrome or Safari. There is no response when I click the link - neither is there any error.

I reformatted the link according to the browser specification:

For IE the link is as below and it works:*
file://Sqnewfilepath/images/test.tif

The link for safari is:*
file:////Sqnewfilepath/images/test.tif

The link for firefox is:*
file://///Sqnewfilepath/images/test.tif

All this links work perfectly when I put them on a regular html page but does not seem to work through APEX.

I hope there is something on the APEX side which is stopping from opening links in other browsers. Does anybody has an insight on this issue?

Thank you for looking into this issue.

Regards,
Nikhil Philip
