Content Disposition Problem with IE

Hi,

I face this peculiar problem. I have an export to excel functionality
in my ASP.NET application. I set the Response.Conten tType and Content
Disposition properties of the page as

Page.Response.C ontentType="app lication/vnd.ms-excel";
Page.Response.A ddHeader("Conte nt-Disposition",
"filename=Resul ts.xls");

This page has data displayed on a grid.

Now when I open this page, it prompts for Open / Save… which is what I
want exactly. When I click on Open it opens the excel in IE… This is
Fine. But when I choose Save option, it opens the Save Dialog box
where I select the destination folder, click on save to save the file.
But the page that opened initially whose COntentType and AddHeader
have been set to open in Excel does not close automatically, rather it
displays the "Action Cancelled" error. My requirement is, once I
choose to save, it should close the page and not show "Action
Cancelled".

Any pointers on this would be of great help.

Thanks Much,
Ramjee

Suppose that I have content that looks like what I've included at the end of this message. Is there something in the standard Python library that will help me parse it, break into the parts separated by the boundary strings, extract headers from each sub-part, etc? Do I need to add something like the following to the beginning? Content-Type: multipart/related; type="multipart/alternative";

Hi. First of all, I *HAVE* to express my annoyance with how badly (at least) this content thing is documented in MSDN. There's no head, nor tail to it. Anyway, I have this code in a form named "Download.aspx". There's all there is to it - no UI, nothing else. This is all the code. ___________________________________________________________ 'Retrieve the path of the file to download, and create a FileInfo object to read its properties...

I have looked everywhere and cannot find a resolution for this. I have read several post on this forum that allude to similar issues but I have not found a solution. I am sending dynamic content to the browser to be opened in Excel. On some browsers including on the mac it works fine, but in other browsers it sets the filename to the script instead of to the name specified in the content-disposition. I am at my wits end. Here is a...

I have tried three ways of opening word documents on my win95 machines.

Please redirect me if this message is posted to the wrong group. Given the intention of delivering content to an HTTP user agent (such as Internet Explorer) which is to be immediately opened by an associated application, there are the Content-Disposition type options of "inline" or "extension-token". Specifically as regards Internet Explorer, I've tried both inline and the specific filename extension (xls,csv,pdf,doc,...) and the...

I have a link in a page that allows the user to download a dynamically created XLS file. I add these headers and everything works correctly - as long as the .xls file is in the "home" folder.

Hi, I am trying to add support for ranges to my download scripts, so users downloading from my site with eg download managers they have the option for multiple connections/resume.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
