That won't work with dynamic help. (It surprised me, too.) You can't link
to the file system from within the dynamic help pages. You can't link to a
file:// link, which is what you'd need to get that to work.
This is a browser restriction, for security reasons. You don't want
I am able to read files from my file system from the browser. For
example enter this into the Windows command line:
echo some dummy text > dummy.html
echo "<a href=dummy.html>dummy</a>" > test-read-file.html
test-read-file.html
and click on dummy when the contents of test-read-file.html appears in
the browser.
For me, it causes the contents of the dummy.html file to appear in the
browser. I am on Windows Vista and I tried it in IE8, Firefox 3.5.5
and Chrome 3.0 and it worked in all three.
The rule in most browsers is that pages retrieved via http:// links
can't link to file:// links. Presumably your local file was already a
file:// link.
