If i prefix the URL with "http://" then normal <a> tag will do the task.
Ex: <a href="http://javaranch.com"> Java Ranch </a> but if i give the complete absolute path like <a href="c:/html/help.html"> Help </a> this is not working. Web server is blocking the access to the documents which are external to the application.
Any suggestions how to do this, I want to open up the HTML file which is residing in the Local file system.
