Open In Explorer using Javascript outside masterpage

Question

The following code works like a charm when executed from an aspx using the sharepoint masterpage. However, I need it to work from an html file in a document library on the same site.

e.g. Works when running from http://portal.dev/ (startpage) Does not work running from http://portal.dev/documents/htmlpage.html

CoreInvoke('NavigateHttpFolder', 'http://portal.dev/documents/', '_blank', 'http://portal.dev/');

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Use a Bookmarklet (Favourite) with:

javascript:NavigateHttpFolder("http://portal.dev/documents","blank");

But this will only work in IE as it relies on ActiveX technology
