Re: Open a local excel file in FlexTable Cell

I think  that you can t do that with a regular  browser. In normal case the browser wont let u access to local file system.

 You will to use a plug in like flash.

Hi at all,

I have a FlexTable showing contents of excel files lying on the local
windows filesystem. There should be a trigger in each row which opens
the excel file with excel.

I tried:
1) Html Cell Widget: <a href="file://D:/excels/
sun_is_shining.xls">test</a>
2) Anchor Cell Widget with href "file://D:/excels/sun_is_shining.xls"
3) Button Cell Widget which does a Window.open("file://D:/excels/
sun_is_shining.xls", "_blank", "")

The behaviour depends on the browser:
- IE 8: file download window appears
- Firefox, Chrome nothing happen or in case of Window.open empty
window is showing

Is it even possible to trigger an excel file opening with excel? How
can i realize this?

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Thomas.
