JavaScript Button cannot open another html file. Why?

Hello all,

 

I am trying to set up an onclick function in Javascript that opens another html file.

Below there are a few examples of the code used and the error messages they received.

 

Please note that it must be a button not a hyperlink and also it needs to be the genuine file that opens not a popup window.

 

I cannot fathom why a simple request to open a file with a button should be such a problem!

 

Can anyone assist please?

 

THE FOLLOWING CODE



function openFile() 
{
   file.open(C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\abbtweb\disclaimer.html)
}

GETS ERROR:-

- line 145 Object expected (button line of code)

...

 

THE FOLLOWING CODE



function openFile() 
{
   file.open(disclaimer.html)
}

GETS ERROR:-

- line 227 file is undefined (file.open line of code)

...

 

THE FOLLOWING CODE



function openFile() 
{
   file.open{C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\abbtweb\disclaimer.html}
}

GETS ERRORS:-

- line 227 char 11 expected ; (file.open line of code)

- line 145 Object expected (button line of code)

...

 

THE FOLLOWING CODE



function openFile() 
{
   window.open(disclaimer.html/)
}

GETS ERRORS:-

- line 227 'disclaimer' is undefined (window.open line of code)

...

 

THE FOLLOWING CODE



function openFile() 
{
   window.open(/disclaimer.html/)
}

GETS ERRORS:-

- line 227 Access Denied (window.open line of code)
