javascript - Open Folder Explorer from link -
a similar question been asked example here.
anyawy need not open in browser contents on folder, this:
<a href="file:///d:/tools/">open folder</a>
(bwt above works on chrome, opens d:\tools in machine)
what achieve opening folder explorer @ given address (in case of windows opening windows explorer @ d:\tools.
the scenario is: web application (php) knows folder open, user clicks button , folder opened in folder eplorer. somehow manual workaround is:
- display path in browser
- the user copies it
- user opens folder explorer
- user pastes path
i realized using internet explorer behavior desired one:
1) user clicks on
<a href="file:///\\server\files\folder1">\\server\files\folder1</a>
2) windows explorer opens @ \\server\files\folder1
so want achieve possible in internet explorer (without exploring plugins , tricks). on other browsers clicking on link let browser render read visualization of folder, while using other browsers user can copy link text , paste in folder explorer.
this solution not perfect suits need.
