Hyperlink to folder

[Guest]

Is it possible to link a specific folder (ex. My Documents) using Hyperlink
with FrontPage?

Do you mean from a web page on the internet??
If so, No.

On an Intranet site you can but not from a public web site.

I am trying to make an interactive CD and when the hyperlink is clicked the
folder will open and the user can choose the file they want. Nothing will be
going through the internet.

Thanks for the Reply

As long as they have that folder in their Hard Drive then yes, you can
create a hyperlink and use the path to the folder. Ex: C:\MyFolder

If you switch to Code View it will look like this:

<a href="file:///C:/MyFolder">Link</a>

Would it be possible to direct the folder to a place on a CD. Ex.
D:\MyFolder. It might be complicated to have everyone viewing the CD place
that file onto their hardrive.

 

[David Berry]

Yes. You can use any file location (Hard Drive, CD, Network Drive etc)

Assuming the file is on the same CD as the interactive web site, make it
a relative link, example:
<a href="myfolder/">link text</a> if the folder is a subfolder of the
current folder,
Or
<a href="../myfolder/">link text</a> if one folder up the tree etc.

You cannot, in general, specify a drive letter for a CD drive, since
some PCs have two CD drives, the drive letter may be arbitrary - I have
2 CD drives: G and H.

Not all CD players have the same drive letter. Mine, for example, is E:\.
