This seems like a really brite and experienced group that I'm hoping can help. I am TRYING to building a web site that is being distributed on both DVD and web server (dev server on Intranet, prod. server on Internet). There are many links throughout the site to both HTML and files (PDF, Excel, and Word). When viewing the HTML files of the web site as local files on my computer filing system, the links to HTML pages work fine in Internet Explorer 7.0, but links to files do not do anything. The browser just sits there. No action whatsoever, other than showing the link as "File>///<location/name.extension> This also occurs when viewing the site burned to DVD. However when posted and served from a web server (IIS), all the links work just fine and the site looks great and works great in both IE and Firefox. When I view the site with FireFox (local file system, on DVD, and Web served), everything works just fine. All of our webmasters have NO CLUE what's going on and I'm on a deadline to distribute the disk. Does anyone have any ideas? I've also done Dreamweaver (CS3) browser checks and it shows no problems. HELP!
