csv file imbed into IE browser when click the csv file link

[eddie wang]

I have the following code. When click the link of myfile.csv, the file
imbed into IE browser. How can I have a window popup to ask if I want
to save or open the file? Thanks.

<td align="center">Please click <a href="myfile.csv">here</a> to view
your Excel file.</td>

Yes, the code in [url]http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2161[/url] works
successfully. But, how can I:
1. Have Open button disabled in the dialog box?
2. Default the filename(fn) when user clicks Save?

Thanks!!!

If it's possible, you cannot do it with ASP, as it would be a client-side
setting.

Did you see this line?
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" & fn

Just replace "fn" with whatever name you'd like. It just so happens that in
this example, the actual file name on the server is being used in the header
as well, but it could be:
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=virus.exe"

Okay the following works very well.
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" &


Now, if I click Open, it pops up another dialog box asking me if I need
to OPEN/Save and I have to click it again to open. Why? Thanks.

Where's the filename?

I don't know. It sounds like a client-side issue.
