Hi all,
I am using tomcat 5.5. In one of jsp code, I have used a hyperlink to open a PDF or FDF file placed in server .My requirement is while clicking the hyperlink the PDF or FDF file should be opened in browser window itself. The file is located in remote server connected through LAN.
For eg :
<html>
<body>
<%
String test= "//123.45.6.78/XXXX/YYYY/RD/RDTEST-D-08-01178.fdf";
%>
<a href="<%=test%>" target="dynamic" >test.pdf</a>
</body>
</html>
When this jsp page is opened in IE and if I click on the link, PDF or FDF files is getting opened well in browser.
While clicking the link in Firefox browser, the path set in anchor tag is changed to
http://localhost:8080/ManuscriptCheck/\\123.45.6.78\XXXX/YYYY/RD\RDTEST-D-08-01178.fdf
Where http://localhost:8080/ManuscriptCheck/ is my Web application URL.
How to overcome this issue to have the file url as such without web application url appending before it?
Can Any body guide me. Thanks in advance.
