[pmwiki-users] Links to files on a network share not working inboth IE and Firefox

[Crisp, Steve [UK]]

Christophe,
 
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 "file:///machine_name/directory_path/myfile.doc <file:///machine_name/directory_path/myfile.doc> " i.e. three slashes then the path.
 
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.
 
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.
 
-Steve.

When you type file:\\machine_name\directory_path\myfile.doc in the address
bar of Firefox, does it load properly ?

It might have nothing to do with PmWiki but with the way Firefox handles
UNC's instead...
