Problem with links

[Sebastian]

Hi,

i have a problem with links and IE7. I have a TEST.PDF file in the index_htm_files directory. In my WEB-project i have a link to index_htm_files/test.pdf. If i open the web-page with firefox i can click the link and the test.pdf was displayed. If i try the same with IE7 the test.pdf was not displayed. What is the problem here?
(i use the german version of WD)

Hello Sebastian

I tried your file in IE 8, Firefox 3, and Google Chrome and the link opened the PDF file each time.

Yes this is a browser issue rather than a XWD one.
I would suggest two things, [1] Update to IE8 and [2] Install the latest Adobe Reader or the free Foxit Reader making sure you select all browser integration options.

Hi,

thank you for your answer. It seems this is a IE7 issue, because IE6 open the link. I think this is a security setting, but i have no idea what setting.

Hi,

i think i found the problem . First, the problem occures only if open the html local but the problem does not occure if i open the html from my web-space.

In the exported html-code the second line is:

<!-- saved from url=(0020)http://www.xara.com/ -->

If i remove the "/" at the end of the url or change the (0020) to (0030) the IE7 open the PDF-Link local.

I think this is a IE7 bug.
