My HTML is: a href="MyApp.chm">MyApp help file
When I go to this web page and click on the CHM link, the entire file is downloaded to my Downloads folder (Win10). At least the file size is identical to the uploaded file. While all the Content is visible (on the left of the CHM file) none of the CHM pages are visible. How can I see the entire CHM file? I'm guessing this is some kind of virus security.
This is a security restrictions from Microsoft when CHM files are downloaded from the Internet.
Here is how you can fix it for this file: right click on it in Windows Explorer, click Properties, and click the unblock button.

How does a browser know to open another html page inside the folder that our index.html is located?
We are opening only the file not all the folder right?
What i mean is how the browser fetches the files when we are not using a online url...
I have an excel sheet with links to local folders. To make it more device "friendly" I save it as html. All is fine, but the links open on the web browser, not windows file explorer.
I know that html does not open aps, but I do not know if opening a local folder with windows file explorer is considered an app, or I miss something.
Excel: =hyperlink("c:\testfolder")
Of course another suggestion on the matter is welcome...
add file:// to the link
=hyperlink("file://c:\testfolder")
When I did inspect on some image from a web page, I found they are in a folder. I can download each one individually, but wondering if I can download the whole folder at once?
I want to just be able to get people to go a link to an mhtml file hosted on a server and be able to see the fully formatted webpage that you'll see when you save the file and open it in Google Chrome (Apparently IE works as well, Firefox and Microsoft Edge do not work). How do I go about doing that?
Might as well post this as an answer for whomever else gets this problem.
Upon renaming the mhtml file to an mht file, and Extractmht can be used to convert the file to an html file, which can then be hosted.
[2022 Edit]:
Alternatively, open the mhtml file in Chrome/Firefox and use an extension like Singlefile to download it as a proper html page.
i have a .zip file sitting on an IIS 6 webserver.
i have an html file with a link to that zip file like this:
Download File
When you open the page and click the link in firefox or chrome, you get the Open or Save dialog box as expected.
When you do the same in Internet Explorer 8, you navigate to a new page that displays the "contents" of the zip file as text (unreadable characters). This happens on at least 3 machines that were tested.
Any idea why this would be happening in IE or what i need to do to fix it?
Changing IE settings is not an option since we do not control the settings of who goes to our site. Changing the HTML or javascript on the page with link is an option.
Thanks for the help!
You may need to set the MIME type of the file. To do so, go to IIS6 Manager for the website. Go to Properties for the site (right-click on the website name for Properties in the menu). Click the HTTP Headers tab. Click the MIME Types... button.
From there, you should be able to add .zip as an extension. I'm not entirely sure which MIME type will work best, but application/zip and application/x-zip are two options to try.
