HTML - <a> Link To Exel File
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 Similar TutorialsIs 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. 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 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. 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 Hey I have some music (mp3) on my site.

This feature has been newly added to GMail, to attached a file we need to click a link. Any ideas or code of how this can be done are needed. Thanks 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. How do I Link text in a div, h1, h2, p to an external text file or xml file - I don't really know how to ask the question.

Best wishes, mas I have several links on my site, all in the form of <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com">mywebsite</a> How do I need to change it such that a new instance of the browser is used in which the linked site is displayed. Hi, I'm newly registered and seeking some assistance. I'm working on a website for a client and come across an issue. The following is my iFrame code: Code: <div id="iframez"> <iframe src="main.html" width="100%" height="400px" name="framez"></iframe> </div> I have a link that is at the bottom of the page that is supposed to load in the iFrame when clicked upon. The code is as follows: Code: <a href="somelink.html" target="framez">some link</a> What I want is when the link is clicked that it loads in the iframe (this works as intended) AND I want the page to scroll up to the iframe. I tried doing this without success: Code: <a href="somelink.html#iframez" target="framez">some link</a> This is interpreted as #iframez in somelink.html, and not the page its on. Is there any way around this? Thanks for your patience. Ive been working on a website in my free time, and I have been wondering if it's possible to hover over a link, and change the text color of another link. A picture of one of my web pages is shown in the link below. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...screenshot.jpg I want to be able to hover over something from the side navigation bars and have various links in the bottom naviational bar change color. So like hovering over Blood Elf, would make Death Knight, Mage, Paladin, Warlock, Priest, Rogue, Hunter turn red Does anyone know how to do this? or even know if it is possible? Hi im not sure if this can be done i have created some buttons to use as links and once i put the a href code in a box appears around the button can i remove this and how plz you can see example of what i mean on my website i have made Home and Contact clickable but i want to remove the box thats around the button if possible http://dreamteam0708.co.uk/ for info: im coding my own html in notepad, not using any programs or anything and my hosting doesnt support php etc The following common code is not working in Firefox (3.0.11). It works in Safari (4.02) and IE7. When I say not working, I mean that when I click the submit button, the address does not change to the form processing url: Code: <!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below --> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field --> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" /> <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array --> Send this file: <input name="mp3file" type="file" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send File" /> </form> The file uploader.php does nothing, it is blank, I'm merely trying to establish communication. Once again, the code functions in IE and Safari so I dont think this is PHP related. I have a project written in ASP.NET under Visual Studio 2005 with C#. I am also using Infragistics objects for .NET Advantage 2007. In my page to attach resources to a record I have written a browser and am displaying previously chosen resources here.

Can anyone help me?
