Hi list,
I have the following use case:
* Trac server running on a local LAN
* All LAN users have a network drive mapped to X: (also the server running Trac)
* I have a Trac-wiki page that talks about this-and-that, and refers
to a directory in X:
* I would like to have that reference as a link. e.g. "bla bla, see
[file:///X:/path this directory]",
so the reader can click the link and open her default file browser
(windows explorer / total commander / ..) at X:\path
I have tried using the mentioned syntax (as well as several
variations), and got the following results:
* in firefox, nothing works. The link looks like a link, but is
unresponsive to clicks.
(also tried {{{ #!html <a href="file:///..." ..., but this didn't
even render as a link)
* in IE6 the mentioned syntax works, and clicking it causes the active
window to "turn into" windows explorer (but no control over the
handling application)
To explore the situation, I tried creating a simple static HTML page
with nothing but a <a href="X:/..." ..,
which worked in both firefox & IE6 (in firefox it rendered like FTP
browser, in IE6 same as above).
Seems that there's an inconsistency on firefox when handling file-scheme links,
since static HTML gives a working link while wiki syntax results a dead link.
Bottom line:
* Does anyone know of a good way to do what I described?
* Is the Firefox inconsistency a bug? (if so, I'll submit a ticket)
Thanks,
Itamar O.
