I'm having some cross-browser issues when linking remote files. I am only really concerned with IE / firefox, where IE like something like href="file://" and firefox likes href="file://///". Anyway, using either of these makes the link work in either of the browsers, which isn't really ideal.
This isn't a major worry, and I'll probably just stick with the firefox alternative, but does anybody know if there is a "correct" way to do this or a workaround?
You could use JavaScript to detect the user agent then write a link prefix variable for each link. A much better solution would be to install a testing server (WAMP, XAMPP, IIS) on your machine. This way you can access your site by typing http://localhost into the url instead of file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Setting...ents/index.htm
