I was trying to get the permalinks to work in Outlook 2007 and finally posed the question in the MS Outlook newsgroup. The only answer I received was that processing html anchors (a/k/a permalinks) doesn't work with local files. I don't know why that's the case, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with firefox as I couldn't open a local file to the permalinked tiddler using IE, Chrome or Firefox. I didn't try any other browsers. And it didn't matter which Windows application I was attempting to use as the permalink failed regardless of whether I was in Excel, Outlook, Word, OpenOffice Writer, Outlook Express... heck I even tried to do with Launchy and also batch file, all to no avail.
I moved the TW file I was working with online and tested the same permalink from Outlook and it worked fine. For some reason, if the html file is stored locally, then the browser either won't process the anchor (#....) or the anchor doesn't even get passed to the browser in the first place. I'm sure there's someone who knows why Windows behaves this way, but I couldn't track down the technical reason why that's the way it works (or doesn't work). ~ Roger On Jan 6, 8:54 am, FND <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> that way a cookie exception can be added for localhost > > > does the way, how the URL is processed by Firefox 3 depend on some > > cookies? > > No; that page describes a workaround for Firefox 3's cookie issue - I > just thought it might help in your case as well (which doesn't seem to > be the case, unfortunately). > > > it would be really very helpful for the use of TW it it was > > possible to set hyperlinks from other windows application to a > > specific tiddler (on a locally stored TW) > > As I've said, I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work - anyone on > Windows who can confirm this issue? > > -- F. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
