HTML file:// links : open in explorer from Chrome - html

I have an html file with links like that :
folder name
I would like that this link opens explorer instead of a custome chrome file html based browser. This works from IE btw.
Thank you !
Nicolas.

For Chrome, Safari and Opera this isn't possible due to their security model. However, there is somewhat of a solution for Chrome in that it's possible but it has two requirements:
You need to get the user to install this Chrome extension
It must be over https://
You will probably encounter the same problem for Firefox since it usually requires LocalLink.

ngAria support for Safari Browser

I have added ngAria in my code base and it works well in Chrome browser. But, It didn't work in Safari Browser. Is there anything I should code specific to Safari browser for keyboard accessibility to work.
Thanks,
Ramesh
Got a solution for this. I checked System preferences of my machine and made changes to them as mentioned in this http://www.weba11y.com/blog/2014/07/07/keyboard-navigation-in-mac-browsers/

IE8 Different presentation of the same html from local drive, network drive and apache

my html/css works fine with chrome, FF and IE11. Also with IE8 when loaded locally from my harddrive.
When the same files are located in an networkdrive the css seems not to work properly. Colors and fonts are fine, but some div-containers are displayed at the wrong positions.
When i transport the files in the htdocs of an apache fonts and colors are fine, but other problems occur with the positioning. Strangly not the same as when started from the networkdrive. Some divs are now correct, others ar now misplaced.
I´m not able to find any pattern with this.
I can check the behaviour within ff and chrome with the build-in dev-tools. But i don´t know of any similar tool within IE8.
Any idea for my 1001 attemp to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot!
Microsoft introduced different rendering modes for local and Internet servers so that web developers would break down in tears.
If there’s no X-UA-Compatible value and site is in Local Intranet
security zone, it will be rendered in EmulateIE7 mode by default.
Add X-UA-Compatible header or META to force full IE8 standards mode.

Xampp automaticly adds #shadow-root to my html document

So I created a clean install of xampp because my old one became pretty messy, now When I created a new index file, even when empty my browser (chrome 38) seems to add this:
#shadow-root
<shadow></shadow>
What does it do, or how can I remove this?
edit: this only appears to be happening on Chrome 38, not on Firefox or IE
Same with Google Chrome 57.0.2987.133 on Windows 10 in XAMPP 5.6.30 and UwAmp 1.3.0.
A blank html file opened via file:// does have expected empty source.
I'd try Nginx or Hiawatha, though even the latter shows shadow mess in Chrome's inspector, so it's probably a Chrome issue. Other Blink (still Webkit on iOS) browsers like Chromium probably do it as well, so try Firefox.

HOW TO CHECK OFFLINE WORKING: open the URL when internet is connected.close the browser after loading all contents. now disable internet and load that URL again it should show the the data from cache.
The above is working fine in Firefox but not in Safari.
May anyone can give me the solution...
I will be thankful
Make sure that the manifest file is served as type text/cache-manifest. There are several other guidelines worth checking in Apple's developer documentation for iPhone and Mobile Safari.

linking to network share with safari

I am trying to dynamically generate links to files on a network share that will work in both IE and safari. In IE, doing href=\\networksharename\foldername\filename works fine, and we thought this worked fine on safari in our initial testing, but our safari users are reporting page cannot be displayed. These are pdf files. Am I missing something?
First, you should replace the backslash (\) with slash (/). A full URL may also be helpfull (something like smb://server/shared-folder/...), but i do not know what share you have.
Are the shares on a DFS? MacOS does not have DFS support.
