Open new tab with button

[skafinski]

Hi,

I'm trying to open new tab (blank) with href to some location on disc.

If i use label and use a href it works and opens new tab no problem.

If i use button and set hreftarget to _blank and  href for path it doesn't work

 

object UniButton1: TUniButton
  Left = 608
  Top = 45
  Width = 75
  Height = 25
  Hint = ''
  Caption = 'UniButton1'
  TabOrder = 11
  Href = 'file:///D:/somefolder'
  HrefTarget = '_blank'
  OnClick = UniButton1Click
end

 

also if i use niSession.AddJS('window.open(''file:///D:/somefolder', ''_blank'');'); it doesn't work.

 

Does anybody knows how to do this?

How? 

In most modern browsers, opening a local file using a link (href) is not possible for security reasons. This limitation is due to security policy.
