How to enable file links on Confluence Pages in the internet explorer 9?

Question

File links on confluence pages are not working on ie 9 and there is absolutely no action on click of the links. It is showing the correct links when hover on the links and also if i copy the links location by selecting 'copy link address' or 'copy shortcut' options, when pasted on a new browser, it is found working. For example i am pasting some code taken from the view source of the page from the browser :: pmo pmo Though compatibility is mentioned and the Secutrity mode is turned off, it has not found working. Could any one suggest a workaround for this? Thanks, Srinivas

In IE8 that works but in IE9 it will not work. There is a work around for chrome but i am looking for IE9 only.

Hey, have you tried this syntax? [file:///c:/temp/foo.txt] There is an article in the documentation adressing local files. http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Linking+to+local+file+under+Firefox "I found the following worked under IE8 and JIRA 4.4.3 [file:///\servername/\folder/\subfolder] That's for each directory level delimiter." Maybe this helps you. If not, please post any news on this:-)
