On a related note, Richard Gaskin suggested using something like the
following AppleScript to launch a local HTML document. However, I found
I had to change the directory delimiter of the document path to a colon
to avoid execution errors.
### tLaunchPath is the path of the HTML document to be launched
delete char 1 of tLaunchPath
replace "/" with ":" in tLaunchPath
put "tell application"&& quote & "Finder" & quote & cr &\
"open file"&& quote & tLaunchPath & quote & cr &\
"end tell" into s
do s as AppleScript
If anyone has found alternate scripts/techniques, I'm sure list members
would appreciate any suggestions.
