Launching a local file in the default browser

[Alain Farmer]

Hello,

Here's some help :

You are not quoting your arguments. Try this :

   put quote & tURL & quote into tURL
   put quote & "Finder" & quote into tAPP
   get "send open file" && tURL && "to" && tAPP
   do it as AppleScript
   put the result

> Any offerings? Still much needed here!

Here is an AppleScript droplet that tells you what the
Creator and Filetype of the file dropped on it are. It
is coded as a droplet, but it could be adapted such
that the fileReference is passed a parameter. An
*easy* task that will be left to the reader to
accomplish.

Hope this helps,
