browser support

Question

Hi I need to access particular folder on network. On click of button new window should take me to that folder. It works correctly on IE 11 as IE understands difference between physical path & url. But same thing fails on chrome & firefox. I am wondering since this is browser specific it may not need code changes. Are there any plug-in to allow browser access. Or is there a way that folder should be exposed to browser in particular way. Kindly help me with your inputs. Thanking in anticipation. Regards Jasmine N

Actually this comes under browser security the way browsers would allow logical paths to be used or how it would allow users to capture the data from a physical path. That is all a part of the browser's security policy. Chrome and Firefox take security a bit more seriously because they are developed by community and thus they support the Linux-like URLs where physical and logical are similar; they all have forward-slash in it . If you can share what you mean to do like in an image or screenshot then I may be able to help you out or to tell you how you can manage to get around it.
