I am having a php project in which I am basically dynamically creating hyperlinks to files existing on the local drive for eg c:/vikram/htc.doc . I created a basic html file and added the usual hyperlinks with the code as
hello
But whenever I launch this page in firefox, there is no response. It doesnt show an error message neither does it launch the file. When I checked the error console on firefox it reads.
Security Error: Content at http://localhost/PhpProject1/newhtml1.html may not load or link to file:///C:/vikram/htc.doc.
Even after implementing all their suggestions still firefox isnt allowing the file to be launched.
If anyone can please suggest me a way to work around this security feature or suggest another browser which allows this(I have tried IE too and it doesnt work there as well). Since the php project is being launch via my xampp control of apache its redirected under localhost is there any way to work with this functionality. PLease Help.
