trying to open a save dialog box using javascript

jekhorton

I want to open a save dialog box instead of bringing up the file's data within the browser. I have read in other posts how to do that, but I am having problems with it. The file contents is still opening up within the browser. Below is my code. Any help will be appreciated.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<%@ Language="JavaScript"%>

<% Response.expires = 0 %>
 
<%
 
var szFile;

if(String(Request("dataFile")) != "undefined") { 

  szFile = String(Request("dataFile"));

}
 
    Response.ContentType="application/save";

    Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename = szFile")

    Response.Redirect(szFile);
 
%>

I think the problem is the redirect, I think that overwrites the http header. Can you open the file using a binary stream and send it to them at that point rather than redirecting? I could do it in vbscript, but I don't think I know how to do it in javascript.
