Chrome has security in place that doesn't allow it to load a file: URL when it's opened from http or https.

You can load this extenstion that will allow Chrome to load local links:
https://code.google.com/p/locallinks/

I still have this problem. Hope someone can help.


------------ The original question:
Firefox loads the html file shown below (both examples)
with no problem ... both when I run the menu on my local
system and also when the same menu is uploaded to the web.

The Chrome browser loads the same file fine when I access
the same menu on my local system; however, when I upload
the same file to my web hosting space, the Chrome browser
does not open the test page. Why?

What can I do to get Chrome to work with this?

<a href=file:///home/joe/data/testpage.htm>test-1</a><br>

<a href=///home/joe/data/testpage.htm>test-2</a><br>

Checked proxy settings and it was set to "No proxy".

Tried setting permissions to 777 just to see if that
might make any difference. It did not.

So, no joy yet.
