I have a javascript function to open up a file based on its extension. If .txt, then open_prog("Notepad", "..absolute path.."). Or if .doc, then open_prog("Word", "..absolute path.."). Problem arises when the folder or file name has a space in it, then the Excel or Word programs won't be able to open the absolute path. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Any solutions?
