HTML - Link To File/software On Pc
My client wants a client login button on his website that will open up a piece of software on his and his employee's PC's (Microsoft terminal services client). Simply linking to C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing it's due to safety on the browsers behalf.
Does anyone know how to make this work? Thanks. PS - I'm on a Mac, but my employer is on PC and it doesn't work for him either. Similar TutorialsHi I need to make a simple html file and need software to make it but I do not have any. What best free software is best to do it? Is there a way to have one document link the coding from another htm file? What I mean is that for my website, I want there to be a logo or menu at the top of every page. So I want to know if there's a way to put it in without putting in the code of it at the top of every document and instead, just linking it to an html file that already has the code. Hi, I make a HTML navigation menu to link to different sheets (word, exel..) on my PC: I make the link as follows: <A HREF="file:///C:\file.xls">click here</A> or <A HREF="C:\file.xls">click here</A> but the destination files are opened IN the browser instead of the program (like Exel or Word).. How can I solve this? thanks! Bart I have a webpage that appears to work with IE6 but not IE7, Firefox 3 or Chrome. I have this tag (among others) embedded in the HTML page: <a href="file:%5C%5Cmspfs01%5Cshared.gsc%5CHR%20GSC%5CSea%5Cindex.html" target="_blank">Internal Documentation</a> When clicked, the following edit is given: Cannot find 'file://mspfs01/shared.gsc/hrpage/hrgsc/%5C%5Cmspfs01%5Cshared.gsc%5CHR%20GSC%5CSea%5Cindex.html'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct. It appears that the browser is appending the path to the file in the tag to current location path. The path in the tag is the absolute path to the index.html file on that box. And like I said, it does work with IE6. Thank you. Kevin Hello friends, I work for a company that sends out a monthly newsletter by email. We are trying to motivate people to print out the file to have it instead of just looking at it once in their inbox and forgetting it. So what we were thinking is we could make a file with "Print Newsletter for Pricing" in the price slots, then have another file with all the pricing that when they clicked a (presumably HTML) link like "Print File Here" it would then call up the PDF File with all the prices and print it. Is this possible? Amen, Christapher I need to create a link on my company's website.

Is there a way to have a link bring up a 'Save as...' box by default rather than having the link open the file inside my visitors' browser. More specifically, I have a long lecture on my site (mp3) that by default opens in my visitors' browsers rather than offering to be downloaded. I know visitors can right-click on the link to get a 'Save as...' box, but I would rather 'Save as...' be the default action whenever the link is clicked. So I want to design a website that people sign up for a free service. Upon signing up they get a referral link to send people to the website. They have a members back page where they can log-in and have access to tools to advertise for the website and also track their hits to the website. I would also need an admin page that I could track their hits to their referral website and be able to e-mail all members at one time. I don't really want to buy affiliate software since im not really selling anything and I do not need all the features, any advice? Hi everyone. I need to find some software that is like Adobe Contribute, but free. I am designing a web site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit it himself but cannot pay the price for Adobe Contribute. Does anybody know of any free software that I can download that works like Contribute? Thank you. Lee I have a 10-day window to buy a professional web design software package. Cost is no object. Currently 1) using hosting site for my web pages and 2) HTML (NVu & Kompozer) to develop e-books for publication. Need a combo WSYISWYG/HTML to be able to "see" what I'm doing. Not a professional web designer but eventually will need to learn how to self-manage my web site. Dreamweaver appears to be the preferred software of choice. Would a better option be one of the Adobe Creative Suites that includes Dreamweaver? At this point, my web site is fairly clean and simple and I'm not one for bells & whistles. Adobe Creative Suites include many features that I'm not sure I would use. But since the money is available should I invest now in anticipation of potential future use? Any recommendations would be helpful. Hi, Just joined your forum. Very informative ! We have always embedded HTML code into our website so that visitors could choose french, german or whatever and then the whole site then worked in french or whatever the chosen language was. see our current site www.euroburolimited.co.uk As you will see this site needed an upgrade to better html standards and better visual presentation and so we bought a smart new template and have upgraded everything. Whilst the site is not yet published to our main domain the new version can be viewed on www.calmwoodlimited.com (This is just a spare domain that we are using for testing purposes. So whats's our problem ? On the original domain, the visitor chose his language and then the whole website worked in french - or whatever. on the new website, exactly the same code is embedded but it only works on the .index page - not on any of the others. How do we fix it so that we don't need to embed the code on every single page ? It must be something to do with the css div's or whatever. Any bright ideas please ? David.
