Opening files using window.open(fil e:///G:\phs-4.pdf)

could someone give me some advise on a problem I have. At present i have a
web application which displays pdf files in a web browser using javascript
and the window.open method and pointing to a web address like
window.open(http://.........).
I have been asked to find out if it is possible to do something similar but
instead opening a file located on my web server e.g.(G:\psh-4.pdf). I would
like to be able to display the file in the web browser using the
window.open method again but this time pointing to the location on my web
server. I need to be able to open the file using something like:
window.open(fil e:///G:\phs-4.pdf).
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so has anyone any examples of
where this has been done before? Any explanations about how this works would
also be useful as I have to try and explain this.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

I want to send people to a new page using a redirect but I want a new window to open. Is this possible? I've tried this: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?jn=HBR&db=bch target=_blank"> but it doesn't open a new browser window. Is there a way to do this?

Hi everybody. I've got a problem. I'd like to avoid opening a new window when you have pressed the shift key and you click in the left button of the mouse. I've tried the next solution, in the body of the page I put the next code: <BODY onkeydown='notOpenNewWindow();'>

Hello, I would like to be able to open a new IE window on the client side and display a PDF document in the new window. Many tutorial sites that I have checked suggest opening a new IE window using client-side JavaScript and the window.open() function. I suspect this is not the desired way as I would like to output a PDF report from a byte array to the HTTP output stream to this new window. Any ideas?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
