Subject: [xwiki-users] Firefox and IE file link problem

Hi All,

Although the documentation states that [file link>file:///C:/test.txt] should provide a file link, when you click on such a link in IE or firefox nothing happens.  No error, no response.  With IE you can at least right click the link and "Save Target As", but not in Firefox.

I can verify that the link to test.txt is correct by writing a simple html file that contains only "<a href="file:///C:/test.txt">Click here for text.txt</a>".  That simple html file works fine- click the link and you get a test.txt.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12, and IE 6.0, and Xwiki 1.2.2 on windows.
