There must be something I'm missing. No else else seems to have this
issue -- at least I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
(Also, my appologies for my earlier posts in which I mistakenly referred to
a <Select> tag as a webcontrol dropdownlist. Here's what's happening:
I have a page inside a frame. On it are a couple of links and a <Select>
tag. The selection list has nothing to do with the links and it works
fine -- usually.
I want one of the links to allow the user to download a short dynamically
created tab-delimited list (*.tab) to his computer. So, I have the follwing
html on the page:
<A href="download.aspx">Download List</A>
Now, here's the code form download.aspx:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'just testing for now, will put real data here later
Dim S As String = "value1" & vbTab & "value2" & vbCrLf & "value3" & vbTab &
"value4"
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "text/tab-separated-values"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" &
"myfile.tab")
Response.Write(S)
Response.End()
End Sub
It seems to work fine. The file downloads and looks ok. BUT, after I
download a file, the Selection Box no longer functions unless I reload the
page. It gives me an "Access is denied" error whenever I select a new
value. One note: I have an onchange attribute set for it, which calls a
javascript function that opens a child window.
PLEASE, I'm desperate. Any ideas what's happening? Why does downloading a
file break my web page?
Thanks,
Jeff
