running win2k adv server/ iis5.0
trying to setup on my web page where browsers can download a file, an .xls
so been trying to figure out with a download 'link' what invokes the
standard ms file save dialog, hopefully without using vbscript
other web pages i have seen have a simple link such as : <a
href="someDir/someFile.xls">D ownload</a>
when i used that, it just opens the spreadsheet and actually allows me to
use the spreadsheet 'through' the web page, which was a surprise but
my objective is not to run the sheet but to have the link just invoke the
file save dialog so the user/browser can save the .xls where they
want without actually having to open excel,
this should be easy right? does it have anything to do with the permissions
on the file and its directory?? and while on that subj, any ideas on
what the dir and file permissions should be? 3  10795

Read the faq, and save us all some time and trouble. In short, you
cannot control what a browser does from the server end. All you can do
is server the resource with the correct mime type. In this case, I'm
pretty sure it's application/msexcel, but check online and confirm.

MSIE is a strange beast. Other browsers will not open Excel inside the
browser like that.

its directory??
No.

permissions should be?
File permission needs read access. I don't which directory you mean,
so I cannot guess. Normally, it's read and execute. This is ot for
ciwah, ask about permission in a server group.

thanks for the help, all i can say is i spent about an hour researching
google groups, my que html manual and checking source code as best i
can i other web pages that invoke a file save dialog, but never made the
mime connection, for invoking a file save dialog
as opposed to opening the application.

You can try to use the method indicated in KB Q260519
But as said Brian, be really aware that you can't force the behavior of the
browser... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I'm using the "API: Call Windows File Open/Save Dialog Box" to source the

position on the screen). How can l control the position on the screen in
which the dialog box opens ?

I'm trying to make a page that, when opened, displays a file save dialog,
then closes itself (essentially just leaving the file save dialog). Is this
possible? I've tried this:
Response.ContentType="image/JPEG";
//Response.AddHeader ("Content-Length", FileSize.ToString());
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;
filename=img1.jpg");
Response.WriteFile(@"c:\img1.jpg");
Response.Write("<script>window.close();</script>");

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
