ober Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 So I feel like an idiot not knowing this, but I did some googling and couldn't find it there either. I have an intranet site where I need to link to a file that launches an application (Citrix client app). My link is structured like this currently: <a href="file:///path/to/blah.ica">Application</a> That works in IE, but nothing happens in FF. What is the correct way to structure the link so that it will open in all browsers?

rhodesa Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I am pretty sure FF doesn't allow you to link to local files like that for security reasons Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166688-solved-link-to-a-document-on-a-server/#findComment-878948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhodesa Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 although, i do know that applications can add their own handles...like we use lotus notes at work and links similar to: notes://www.servername.com/#######/###### open from IE and FF Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166688-solved-link-to-a-document-on-a-server/#findComment-878966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
