linking to network share with safari

I am trying to dynamically generate links to files on a network share that will work in both IE and safari. In IE, doing href=\\networksharename\foldername\filename works fine, and we thought this worked fine on safari in our initial testing, but our safari users are reporting page cannot be displayed. These are pdf files. Am I missing something?

First, you should replace the backslash (\) with slash (/). A full URL may also be helpfull (something like smb://server/shared-folder/...), but i do not know what share you have.

Are the shares on a DFS? MacOS does not have DFS support.
