I tried using
document.location.href = “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe”
but in IE nothing happens. In Firefox at least I get an error message:
firefox doesn’t know how to open this address because the protocol (c) isn’t associated with any program
I suspect that it doesn’t like the ‘c:\’ but nothing else that I’ve tried works.
Does anyone have any ideas, or know of another way to start a program with a javascript command?
