Hey guys,

I'm having this issue with getting links to shared folders on our intranet to display properly on browsers other than IE. We're currently playing with Drupal 7 CMS, but I had the same issue when we were using Concrete5 CMS. The site we're working on is mostly internal with a few links to outside. What I'm currently trying to do is create a link called "Service Manuals" that either brings up the appropriate shared folder in explorer or a folder list displayed in the browser itself. Either way would suffice for our purposes. If I use IE I can get this to work no problem. However, when I use Chrome or Firefox it won"t display at all either way unless I use an IE compatibility plugin. Has anyone run into a similar situation? I really would like this to work in Chrome or Firefox without any IE plugins. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
what link are you using?

using <a href="smb://path the directory">click here</a> should work
 
maybe adding the "open with new window" code might help as well

<a target="_blank" href="smb://path%20the%20directory">click here</a>
 
Thanks for the input guys. Neither worked, but I appreciate the responses nonetheless.
