Apr 2nd, 2008

Hi

my file is located at c:\AdminFiles.xml

i tried the following ways

window.open("c:/AdminFiles.xml",'HeavyXml');

window.open("c:\AdminFiles.xml",'HeavyXml');

window.open("c:\\AdminFiles.xml",'HeavyXml');

in the above i'm getting the following error:
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isnt associated with any program"
