I have a webpage(with a text field and a button) which prompts for a
local file and attempts to load the file in the window if the user
clicks on the button. The javascript code onClick event uses the
location.href property to achieve the desired result. (This loaded
page has some additional functionality which lets them upload the
contents to the server.)
This approach only seem to work for some computers and on others it is
loading a blank page. I have alerts in the code to show that
location.href is correctly reflecting the file location after the
assignment. When it is loading the blank page I see the message
"Opening page about:blank" on the status bar. Iam currently using IE6
sp1 on Win2k. This issue is not just limited to this combination. We
are experiencing issues with IE5.5, WinXP as well.
The code works if I pass a web site address. It only fails if I
attempt to pass a file name(c:\test.htm)
Any thoughts on why the blank page is being loaded or how can I go
about resolving this issue.
TIA
