I made a web app using Java (jersey servlets on backend) and AngularJs on frontend. I want to open in new tabs or download some local files. I tried using:
<a href="file:///{{course.path}}" target="_blank" ><span> {{course.filename}} </span></a>
where course is JSON like:
{type: "pdf", path: "C:/Users/Tom/Desktop/Courses/course2.pdf", areaSubject: "It", created: 1434700150341, filename: "course2"}
When I click on it, it opens a blank page (about:blank) and nothing appears.When I type on browser file:///C:/Users/Tom/Desktop/Courses/course2.pdf the content appears.
How can I make it works when click tag? I use Chrome.
