What does "download it" mean in this context? Do you really have a user at a remote endpoint, to whom you will deliver the data on request as a download? Or something else? What does "open it" mean in this context? Do you mean you want the data interpreted as HTML and rendered in a browser window? In terms of delivering the data to the user, is this (i.e. "open it") different from "download it" or is the only difference in what happens _after_ the data has been delivered to the user? Unfortunately, your original question is very vague. Please provide a more specific question so that a reasonable answer can be provided. Thanks, Pete

How > does one do this. Pete's right in that your question is difficult to understand. However, just a day or two ago I ran across a KB article which answered the exact question I believe you're asking, which is "How do I force Internet Explorer to show the Open/Save As dialog for a MIME type that it would normally just automatically display?" so I think I can help you without further clarification. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260519 |
