#8 Cannot open PDF links in IE

[Patrick Frey]

pdf documents, linked to from within a menu html or
from within the menu itself only open in Netscape, not
IE.

The pdfs don't reside in the same folder as index.html or
code.html. For instance:

Linking to PDF from within the menu

menu.addItem("PDFNAME","pdf/pdfname.pdf")

pdf opens only in Netscape. IE yields an empty pop-up
with the correct path. The same happens to pdfs linked
to from within a html, which is a menu page.

Btw. everything works flawlesly on my local drive - my
entire site and all relevant documents reside in a folder
on my hardrive. If I simply move the entire folder to a
shared network drive, the problem occurs (however, all
documents are present & no changes are made to code,
naming, etc.)

Thanks,
