Hi all -

I am wondering if anyone knows how to use HTML to launch a local file
from a hyperlink on a page that is on the Internet.

I wrote a basic HTML page that has an "<a
href="C:\filename.avi">link</a>" on it, and when viewing this HTML page
on my local machine, it works fine (other than the AVI not launching in
my default player, but that's neither here nor there at the moment).

BUT when I upload this page to my site's server and view the page
over the Internet, the link does not work.

Does anyone know how I could make the link work over the Internet?


Thanks -

Brian Mc
