window.open problem

[praveenkumar14]

Hi everyone,
Iam using netbeans6.5. I tried to open a .xls file in new window. My project deployed to Glass fish server. when the below code executed the file is not opened. Do i need to change any server security settings? please suggest me.

my code is
window.open("c:\\TEST\\test.xls");

thanks in advance.
Kumar.

That is Javascript isn't it? Better run a file servlet and let the user's browser decide what to do with the file.
