Windows Intranet File Links on a Mac
Hello,
We have several Macs on our Windows 2008 network. We also have an intranet website the everyone accesses internally that contains links to various "forms" that are located on one of our file servers. The links that point to files give the Macs the most grief. I know it has something to do with the link itself within the html code. Is there a way to create/configure a link that works for both the Windows machines and the Macs? I have access to the html code for the intranet website and some familiarity with html.

I have not heard of this, could you include some HTML that doesn't work for Macs? I know there are issues with desktop shortcuts to URLs which don't work properly, not HTML links, but it doesn't seem that is what you mean.

Sure. If you hover over one of the links that does nothing, this is what it shows:
file://fileserver/u/Shared
This is a link to an Excel spreadsheet. Any link on our intranet website of this nature will not open. I have opened test files in the browser and made the association with the program, but it just will not open.
Thanks,
