<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your reply. To answer your
question, no it does not load if I enter it in the URL - this is the
problem. What works in Mozilla/Firefox is "<A
href="file:///machine_name/directory_path/myfile.doc"><FONT
face="Times New Roman">file:///machine_name/directory_path/myfile.doc</FONT></A><FONT
face="Times New Roman">" i.e. three slashes then the
path.</FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>I agree this is strictly not a problem with pmwiki
however pmwiki's strongest point is it's support for multiple
browsers. To do this it has to present html/css et. al. in different ways
to make things work so well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>I wonder if someone much cleverer than me can work out
how to support what I would have thought would be a much used
facility.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>> Using FireFox or Mozilla (same thing) this page resolves to
be "<BR>> <A
href="file:///\\machine_name\directory_path\myfile.doc">file:///\\machine_name\directory_path\myfile.doc</A>"
and things do not work.<BR><BR>When you type <A
href="file:\\machine_name\directory_path\myfile.doc">file:\\machine_name\directory_path\myfile.doc</A>
in the address<BR>bar of Firefox, does it load properly ?<BR><BR>It might have
nothing to do with PmWiki but with the way Firefox handles<BR>UNC's
instead...<BR><BR>Christophe<BR></FONT></P></DIV>
