How would I code a link in source code so that I can link to a file on a local server? The standard "file://path" or label or label constructs are recognized by IE but not Firefox. Is there a coding that most browsers will recognize? (File is located on an office server.)

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I first tried using this construct for a lonk.
