[xwiki-users] Firefox and IE file link problem

2008-02-21 Thread Arin Morfopoulos 

Hi All,

Although the documentation states that [file linkfile:///C:/test.txt] should 
provide a file link, when you click on such a link in IE or firefox nothing 
happens.  No error, no response.  With IE you can at least right click the link 
and Save Target As, but not in Firefox.

I can verify that the link to test.txt is correct by writing a simple html
file that contains only a href=file:///C:/test.txtClick here
for text.txt/a.  That simple html file works fine- click
the link and you get a test.txt.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? 

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12, and IE 6.0, and Xwiki 1.2.2 on windows.

not really an XWiki bug, but try this;

_SeaMonkey_1.0_and_newer
