My Wiki is resident on an external  hard drive, and therefore I do not
have to specify a drive.  I am creating it using Chrome.

 

I have 2 files in a folder called "Para 62":   "John Status.pdf"  and
"Sales List.xls"

 

The syntax that I use to link the pdf file is as follows:

<a href="Para 62\John Status.pdf"target="_blank">John's status report
for June</a>

 

The link appears as:

John's status report for June

And when you click on it, the pdf automatically opens in a new tab.  All
good.

 

Now, when I use this same syntax for the Excel file:

<a href="Para 62\Sales List.xls"target="_blank">List of Sales </a>

 

I see:

List of Sales

 

But when you click on it, the "Save As" screen appears....asking the
viewer where to save the file  "Sales List.xls"  

If I remove the [ target="_blank" ]  phrase,  you still see the link.
Clicking on it asks you if you want to leave the Wiki page.  If you say
yes - it takes you to the same "Save As" screen.

 

Note: in Wiki  Classic , I used this syntax:  [[List of Sales|.\Para
62\Sales List.xls]].   I was able to launch the Excel file successfully
(but the Wiki was opened was using IE).

 

What am I doing wrong in TW5?  Note: the user requires that this Wiki
must be able to operate within IE and Chrome.

 

Thank you...
