Information about the limitations of viewing an HTML document in the Groove Files tool (914602)

MORE INFORMATION

You can view HTML documents in the Groove Files tool. However, any dependencies on other documents in the standard workspace will not work.

A Web page is usually composed of a collection of documents. These documents include a base HTML document and supporting HTML documents, images, style sheets, or other files that are linked to in the base document. The references in the base document depend on the other files maintaining their names and directory relationships. If the supporting documents are included in a standard workspace, they will not be at the locations that are specified in the links in the base document. Therefore, the links and any display features that depend on the supporting files will not work. Even if the directory structure and names are used, the Groove encryption makes the linked files unreadable from the browser.

However, if you have the Web page files in a Groove file sharing workspace, and the links use relative paths, the links will work. Links that use absolute paths will work only if the path name on the local computer matches the path name on the originating computer.
