The following code will open a web folder on a windows-based pc (assuming appropriate versions of IE). The trick is to pass the appropriate string for servername and documentpath. Jim <html> <body> <SCRIPT Language=JavaScript> if (navigator.appName.substring(0,8)=="Netscape") { alert ("WebFolders can only be displayed using Microsoft Instent Explorer 5.0 or later"); document.locations=document.referrer; } </SCRIPT> <style> .httpFolder {behavior: url(#default#httpFolder);} </style> <DIV ID="oDAV" CLASS="httpFolder"/> <script> oDAV.navigateFrame("http://servername/documentpath","_self"); </script> </body> Internet Mail Message Received from host: w3c-dist-auth@w3.org Sent To: "'w3c-dist-auth@w3.org'" <w3c-dist-auth@w3.org> by: cc: (bcc: Jim Hanna-JI/PGI) w3c-dist-auth-request@w3.org Subject: connect to a WebDav Share via the Web Browser 05/24/2002 04:06 PM My deepest apologies if this question doesn't belong on this list. I'm having trouble finding any resources that can help us. I've got a question regarding implementing WebDav. We'd like to turn WbDav on on our file servers that will give users access to centralized storage from a net connected computer. Currently they gain access off-campus using a custom FTP-in-a-browser-window solution that we developed. We're hoping that WebDav can replace this, but I'm having some doubts we can provide the same functionality. So here's the question, Is there a way or a product that will mount (on a mac) and map (on a PC) a WebDav share by clicking on a link in a webpage? I know we could just provide directions for our users to do this themselves manually, but that suggestion wasn't received very well :-) So I'm trying to double check and make sure that this isn't possible. There must be some workaround to do this, since Apple does it for Mac clients with the iDisk. But I haven't figured out how they do that. I'm hoping some smart folks here may have an idea or suggestion for us. Thanks either way!
