ListGridField link type

[paulf]

The href for my link field is a file url (c:/data/myfile.html). The link url displays properly in the browser toolbar as (file:///c:/data/myfile.html) when I hover over it the ListGrid, but the link is not followed when I click on it. I checked to make sure the file is in the proper location.

Is there something else I need to check?

What browsers? Does it differ by browser?

What if you paste the URL into the location bar?

IE 8 and Firefox. The link is not active in either browser.

I can paste the URL into the browser in both cases.

We suspect here that a web application (as in, accessed at some domain rather than from a file:// URL) may not be allowed to create a link to a local file, as a security constraint. Have you checked on this with a plain .html file?
