Subject: Opera/Netscape/Mozilla: Floppy access from liveconnect html page
 (fwd)

Hi,

just tried the following html page in opera 72/netscape 72/mozilla
on windows and I was prompted with an insert floppy prompt box.
The page was uploaded to a remote site and loaded from there.

(script)
a=Packages.org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument.createXmlDocument("file:///a:/");
(/script)

Can anybody try this please to verify the issue ? Instead of a:
you could also please try com1/lpt1/prn/aux/clock$.

My used java version is jdk 1.4.2_01 browser plugin.

Thanks Marc
