Hi,

I have this html page that is using relative links to PDF's. Using IE it can't open the links. using navigator or win IE it opens just fine. Anyone know if there is a work around?

than,x
 
You can right-click (or control-click) the link and choose "copy link location". Then, go to the IE address bar and strip off the filename at the end of the path, and paste in the relative link. For example:

http://www.mysite.com/mypath/path/index.html

You'd strip off the 'index.html' and paste in the relative path:

http://www.mysite.com/mypath/path/PDF/mypdf.pdf

Generally, though, this shouldn't happen and is obviously some sort of bug or compatibility issue with the site or its code.
I have found that the mac version of IE has some quirks when addressing local files, too, but these rarely come up.
 
We'll it's actually a page a colleage and I are making. Mac IE has trouble opening any relative link. here is a snippet of the code. It has been edited w/ Composer,Dreamweaver, and word so who nows.
