Despite searching through multiple posts on SO, I have yet to find a solution to my issue.
We operate a web form within our LAN that utilizes Javascript's OPEN function to open PDF files.
Up until recently, everything was working smoothly.
However, today two out of four users reported that the form no longer opens the PDF file.
The other two users are not encountering any problems.
Now, both my work and home machines (via VPN), running on Win7 64-bit, present the same issue when attempting to use the web form. The affected users have systems with Windows XP and Windows 7 Professional.
Meanwhile, those without any difficulties are using Windows XP.
When executing the following JavaScript code, IE9 displays SCRIPT5: Access is denied., while Firefox and Chrome show Access is denied when opening the file through script:
var path = 'file://server1//Temp/file.pdf';
var newWin;
if(path != '') {
newWin = open(path,'pdf');
}
I am completely perplexed by this situation. What could be causing this unexpected behavior? I have frustrated users eagerly awaiting a resolution in the morning - any assistance would be greatly appreciated! 😊
