I need to have an href="file:///\\ServerName\Foldername\" (which works) in order to go to a directory listing on one of our servers. But, in CoffeeCup if I enter that value, when I save the page, it gets 'corrected' to "//ServerName/Foldername/" (which doesn't work). Is there a way to suppress this 'correction'? I can't find it in settings.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Jon
href value changed upon save to...

Hi Jon, That's odd. I tried adding it to the custom markup and it still corrects it. I can't find a way to override that behavior. Bummer

I found a way to get it to work.
Save it as a text file first.
Then reopen it and save as a html or php or what ever.

Now that I did that once. it doesn't correct it even on new pages and paste <a href="file://///ServerName/Foldername/"></a> and save it as html. Test to see if you get the same result.
Wait that's not the same now.
Nope it corrects. I can't find a setting to shut auto correct off.

Thanks for looking at this Eric. Even though it's mutated a bit, i'll give "file://///ServerName/Foldername/" and your general approach a shot. My browser likes "file://///ServerName/Foldername/" when i type it in directly, so mmmmaaybee....
Will get back to you...

Well, that didn't work 
Guess I'll just have to make a script or something to 'take care of it in post'. Thanks for your efforts!

I'm wondering whether changing it to
<a>href="file:///\\ServerName\Foldername\"</a>
would work.
Frank
<a>href="file:///\\ServerName\Foldername\"</a>
would work.

I couldn't get it to work. The editor still changes it to the other format upon Save.
This didn't get me anywhere, because I guess it's case-sensitive on the client side, BUT: when I changed it to 'File ' or "FILE" the editor wouldn't change it, but it also didn't work. I wonder if this 'correction' is related to the HTML version (I'm using HTML5), although I haven't found any documentation indicating that as a 'thing'...
Anyhoo, i've kind of set up a tool to tidy this, and some other things up, so probably won't worry about it much more. Thanks for your thoughts!

<a>href="file:///\\ServerName\Foldername\"</a> still doesn't get changed on Save for me.

Thanks Frank,
That seems to work for me. I had both links on a page and when I saved the page, it left your version as is.
