How to open local file link in IE ?

I know, this question is not APEX-related per se, but I was not able to google the fix to this problem.
In my application, users can open a file open dialog and retrieve a complete file path that is later stored in the DB. Of course, Firefox's javascript does not allow this, but Adam Fisk's applet (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405630#c40) does the job.
The file path links to file:///..... . In Firefox, I have managed to open these links with NoScript settings (white list for our intranet trusted addresses and "allow local links" for trusted sites).
Also, there is a LocalLink plugin (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work) that allows to open local file links from context menu.
However, on Internet Explorer nothing happens and LocalLink and NoScript are only for FF.
Has anyone here managed to open local and intranet file links in IE?

    Thanks for the quick response, but my requirement is not downloading and uploading files, my requirement is ' I Have to provide one hyperlink in BSP Page, and when user click on this link one local file should open. For exa. try to save this code ( mention in Sub Line ) in text file and save it as HTML Extention.
    <a href="C:\My Filel.PDF">Open my File</a> "
    when you execute this file as a result on the web page you will get text 'Open my File' and when you click on there than a file which is stored in location C:\My File.PDF will open, same thing I would like to do in BSP.
    Thanks and Regards

  • How to open Zip Files in N900 ?

    Hi Guys,

    if you have rootsh installed, open up xterm and run these commands
    root
    apt-get install unzip-fm
    apt-get install unrar-fm
    as in the link from aspergerguy, you need the extra catalogs installed.
    once you have them installed you just need to click on the zipped file then it will unzip it to a folder of the same name

  • File open menu will not open local files using open command but the same files will open if I double click them (permissions seem fine)

    Under File menu Open File will not open local files even those downloaded to the desktop by Firefox 5.
    If I double click on HTML file it does open
    Reinstalled. Same behaviour. Default Browser set correctly.
    Permissions set correctly. Odd behaviour.

    Are you sure it hasn't imported?
    Check for the track names (trackname only, not Album or Artist)) and see if they have a blank Artist and Album, because WAV files have no MetaData, so are kind of stupid as far as knowing anything about the Artist, Album & track id.
    You can't search by 'Untitled' either as there is literally, no name at all, but iTunes does pick up the actual physical track name in Finder and uses that. As an example, if you renamed your Aerosmith WAV file from say 'Toys In The Attic' to 'Love Song' it would import the track as 'Love Song' as that's all it can go by.
    There are a few iTunes AppleScripts that let you import from a file of WAV music, by looking at the enclosing Album in the enclosing Artist as that's how most PC progs create the WAV file structure.

    1) A .ipa file is an app for IOS (iPhone, iPad..) and will NOT run on Mac OS X. Apps for your Mac can be found for example on the Mac App Store (you can find a link to it in the Apple menu on your menu bar).
    2) I like Aperture and PixelMator

  • How to open PSD file recieved via email on iPad using Photoshop Touch without Creative Cloud?

    Hi, how to open PSD file recieved via email on iPad using Photoshop Touch without the need of using Creative Cloud? Thanks.

    Hi Super Nemo
    Currently the only way to open psd files on Photoshop touch is via the creative cloud. Also, the layers you created from Photoshop on your desktop machine will be flattened when opened with Photoshop touch on your iPad. But you can retain the layers from the touch app when opening the psdx file on your desktop photoshop.

  • How to open user file in Flex Application

    Hi forum,
    I develop flex2 application where user can browse and open
    XML file: the file should be loaded to text area.
    Could you, please, advice me how to browse and open user
    file?
    I found FileReference class but it looks that it can only
    upload file to a server. I need to open the file in flex
    application.
    Thanks for your help.
    Smoke007

    The issue isn't Flex, but the Flash Player. It is too much of
    a security risk to allow SWFs running in the Flash Player to open
    local files. Imagine going to a web site that has a SWF banner ad -
    but that banner ad opens local files and sends them to a remote
    system - all of your personal and financial information transfered
    without your consent.
    Flex apps running in the AIR player are different - the end
    user must launch them explicitly, just like any other local
    program.

  • HT1338 how to open .osx file in lion

    how to open .osx file in lion

    I am not sure you can.  Open terminal (in utilities) and type the word file followed by a space.  Then drag one of those .osx files in to the termina.  You should have a line that looks like:
    file /path/to/osx/file
    Hit return and post results.
    Also, see this link.  If what they say there applies here then you won't be able to execute those files.

  • Open local file using fileReference in AIR

    I just started to build an AIR application and am facing a
    very basic problem. I need a File->Open menu that pops up a file
    open dialog and returns the location (including folder) of a file
    to edit.
    - I tried the fileReference.browse() but this does not seem
    to provide the full path to the file
    - I tried fileReferenceList.browse() but the SELECT event
    does not fire on my Mac under (seem to be a bug reported last
    October:
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13220)
    Now, how can I achieve this in AIR? I assume opening local
    file is a pretty standard operation for desktop application, any
    suggestion/tip?
    thanks
    *P

    You don't want to use FileReference in AIR for what you are
    doing. Check the documentation for the mx.controls.FileSystemTree.
    There are actually a handful of AIR-specific controls for accessing
    the file system. There isn't a "File Open" dialog per se; you can
    build your own out of the controls given. I will say that the
    controls will have the flavor of the OS (so on a Mac the controls
    will behave similarly to the way a Mac accessses and browses for
    files).

    How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
    Dear Sir/Madame,
    I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
    Thanks
    Rajesh Jain

    One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.
