Re: EMERGENCY: opening application form a URL

[Jan van Boesschoten]

I think you don't need to open windows it's done automaticly. Just do a a href to the .doc xls and whatever. If the user has the application on his computer it will be started else, he has the ability to save it.


Beware there is some shit going on when you tried to open an word97 document in a word96 program. I can advice you link also to an rtf-file


Example:

This works fine

<a href="HandboekMEdiaPlaza.doc">Handboek Media Plaza</a>


Hope this will help, and goodluck

Have designed an intranet in Flash for a large financial group in London

but cannot seem to get the buttons to open an application, I am using

GET URL with the link- file:///C:\Program Files\Microsoft

Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE


But in Netscape all I am getting is a prompt to save the file rather

than save or open.


Any ideas at all. Is this at all possible??


Help urgently needed. DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY.


Cheers all


Christian.
