No error, no new page, nothing. Example: <a href="file://Q:/Demo_TX/menu.html">TAKS Demos</a> Keying the value into the URL window and clicking Search does work. Example: file://Q:/Demo_TX/menu.html The status bar displays the following when moving the cursor over the link on the page. Example: file:///Q:/Demo_TX/menu.html The html coding works on I.E. 6.0, Netscape 4.72, and Opera 7.23. The code fails on Mozilla 1.6, Netscape 6.22 and Netscape 7.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open my main page: http://int.gotolearn.org/index.html 2. Click on the anchor link described above 3. Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Displayed the //Q:/Demo_TX/menu.html page We have to produce html that runs on all browsers. It seems that this coding should be handled in a standard manner across all browsers.
