I want to open a PDF document on click of a hyper link in DataTables grid column. Please help.

This function is called on a button click just for test but js error: Access denied.

function openPDF() {
   window.open("file:///D:/test.pdf", "_blank", "");
}

I know I have tried everything but the problem is Access denied error from js... I have checked VS temp folder , Windows temp folder permissions and set it to everyone full access but still access denied – Renascent Oct 18 '16 at 05:52
You are aware that browsers cant access the local file system right. – Darkrum Oct 18 '16 at 06:05
any other option to open a pdf file located at local machine or server ? – Renascent Oct 18 '16 at 06:06
I see your using Windows. Heres a barebones webserver you can host your website on so you can make your link work. https://www.cesanta.com/products/binary – Darkrum Oct 18 '16 at 06:09
Ok that means it will work on server. right ? – Renascent Oct 18 '16 at 06:13
If you set the url correctly yes it will. – Darkrum Oct 18 '16 at 06:15
