It might be your browser willing to protect you from some malicious page. Entering the url yourself in the browser's bar is a different story, I guess the browser can assume you know what you're doing, which it can't necessarily do when you're clicking a random link on a page it doesn't know you're controlling. -g > > Any thoughts? > > Chris > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 12 December 2007 10:55 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] Hyperlink using the file:/// protocol?? > > > On Dec 12, 2007, at 11:32 , Allan, CJ (Chris) wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I cannot work out how to insert a hyperlink to a file on another >> server >> that is not a web server.
