In my company I have some files linked with that :
<a href="file://machine/repert/file.html">
So, the links doesnt run and try to access to C:\repert\file.html

These links run fine with IE and Opera.

OS : Windows 2000 Pro.

try:

<a href="file:///machine/repert/file.html">

- three slashes after the 'file:' part instead of two.

- Three slashes : Doesn't run (not with k-meleon, nor with IE)
- Four slashes : Run with IE but not k-meleon
(I did not try more :-) ).
... And the problem is that Frontpage generates only two slashes.

Do you have the "repert" folder shared on your machine?

<a href="file://c:/temp">temp folder explicit - local only</a>

<a href="file://mycomputer/temp">temp folder shared</a>

However, neither of these work on my K-M, but do in EI 6 and Netscape 6.21. As a matter of fact, for local browsing of local folders, Netscape will put the "click-the-folder-expand/collapse" buttons next to the folder names. Very cool.

A quick look through the Bugs reporting page revealed that this is supposed to be fixed with the next version: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/viewbug.php?bugid=95
