Busic Question (HTML)

Basic question (i guess)

can anyone tell me if there is a comand when creating a link, that will automatically open the document or file in its associated application.?

Every time I click on a
<a href="???.doc">testdoc</a>
I receive the question of:

" Do you wish to save ?
Do you wish to run from current location?"

Is there a switch or command I can place in the <a href=> to open the doc automatically ?


Regards: Ryan

I'm not sure as I'm quite new to HTML myself, but I would think that this is a browser specification, perhaps due to security considerations??

Ryan Spain,

if you are using IE 5.0 or latest versions of browsers, then it will open "*.doc" file automatically.but previous versions of the browsers will promt you whether you want run it or save it.

If the mime type is set up in IE 4 or 5, a ".doc" file will open a MS Word document <I>INSIDE</I> the browser window. If the mime type is not set up, you will get the "save/open" deal.
