Thanks a lot. What I was trying to do is the following: opening a file
in different ways when dealing with different browsers. So would your
code work for this function? Bear with me, a greener, for the
ignorance.
Most browsers won't allow you to use javascript to open a file. IE will
under some circumstances (lowered security, ActiveX, etc).
Normal security settings don't allow for the opening of a file with
javascript because it runs on the client and that would be a bad thing
for malicious people to be able to do. When using server-side script to
open a file on the server, the browser is irrelevant.
What file do you need to open? Is this for a CD, intranet application,
active desktop, or...? If you're making something for a CD, you could
use an HTA - it gets better permissions. I think Windows as the OS is
required to use an HTA.
