    Default Downloading files

    My application allows users to download and ASCII file and save it to their
    hard drive. This works fine except that it appears to add blank lines at the
    end of the file. This is the code used:

    <CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="Inline;filename=#FileName#">
    <CFCONTENT TYPE="application/plain">

    Any thoughts on why it would add blank lines?

    Thanks.

    Default Re: Downloading files

    Make sure that all your code in single line <CFHEADER
    NAME='Content-Disposition' VALUE='Inline;filename=#FileName#'><CFCONTENT
    TYPE='application/plain'> no enter You can also make your link to be like this
    getfile.cfm?id=5/filename.txt This will force the browser to show the save
