Trying to view html files

    Greetings,

    I have a report that accesses a folder full of data. The main way I am to access the data, the report, is by clicking on a file called "report.html"

    When I click on that, instead of that html file accessing what needed in the data folder, it shows me a listing of what is on the drive.

    How do I get that file to point to the contents in the data folder?

    TIA

    Are you clicking on that file in windows explorer? Could you upload that report.html, or just list the contents of said report.html here? We really can't help here, with a situation that is remote.

    theefool - thank you. Yes, I am trying to click it in Win Explorer. I will go take a gander at it and see what I might upload. Back in a bit

    Although no longer a SUPER high priority, thanks for any and all help because the problem actually persists.
    (MG rocks!)

    I have attached the original ZIP file for you to play with....and maybe help me solve

    Details...
    Running Win7 x64.
    I created a test folder on my "R" drive: "R:\## report holder folder".
    With the ZIP file inside this new folder, I extracted the ZIp "to this folder" with Bitser software.
    There are now all three items in this new folder: 1) the original ZIP, 2) a "report.html" file, and 3) the "promethease_data" folder.

    Clicking on the .HTML file with Windows Explorer opens Chrome and displays: "Index of R:\" like a Title, and all of my folders on "R/" listed (<- none clickable)

    I see the URL displayed in Chrome is "file:///R:/## report holder folder\report.html"

    (A) On a lark, I removed "file:///" part from the URL, and the software opens -- although I am not sure whether or not all functionality is present since I am unfamiliar with navigating this report.
    (B) I also notice that right-clicking "report.html" and selecting "open with Firefox" opens the file.
    (C) Ditto for IE 11 (as much as I hate to touch that - lol) -- report opens, no problemo.

    So, the easy solution (at least for this report) is to use A, B or C, above.

    I'll post this here anyway out of curiosity, and because I have another file/folder combo that is acting the same way, but I can't get ANY of the above workarounds to work.

    This second non-working combo is where I saved "the complete web page" which is a MindMeister Mind Map. The folder now has the "MTHFR Related Health Problems - MindMeister Mind Map.html" file, as well as the data folder: "MTHFR Related Health Problems - MindMeister Mind Map_files"

    I feel like I want to ask, "How can I trick "report.html" into pointing to the proper files/folder?"

    Be well, ~Dr Carl

    PS - problem uploading ZIP...will attempt in a separate comment.

    I believe the ZIP file was too big, so I raped a great deal of it out of one of the files: "report_complicated.html" - upload still failed.

    Here is the "report.html" file copied from Notepad++

    Problem seems to be, you're trying to access the file from a local drive.
    What I know about this stuff could be put on the point of pin, but maybe try a different browser?

    Yes, that's right. I am indeed attempting to open the report on a local drive: "R/"

    You are also right about trying a different browser:


    I still want to be able to fix it and open it on my local drive because....

    Sorry, some how I just glazed over the fact that you had already tried IE and Fx. As for fixing it, I think it will take someone proficient with html and JavaScript to modify the file(s) so that it/they would work correctly with Chrome.

    Suppose you could try the file(s) in IE or Fx to become familiar with the navigation of the report. Make a backup copy of the file, then try your option (A) and see if it works the same in Chrome as it does in IE or Fx.

    As for options (A),(B) or (C) not working with the other "file/folder combo", it will probably need to be dealt with separately.

    Wish I could be of more help.
