Hi, 
  I am trying to load a csv file in Iframe element. I just want to 
load it as a text file. 
however when i load the file in iframe it asks to open the file and 
finally opens it with excel in IE window itself. If i save the save 
file as .txt it is being read properly.I need to save the file in csv 
format only so that it can be edited externally with excel easily. 
Later on i want to display the read csv file in javascript and do some 
processing on it. 
  Does any know how do this. The basic problem is to stop IE from 
invoking excel to open csv file and instead read the file as text. 
 
Following code works for .txt file 
 
<iframe name="loader" id="frm" width="1000" height="300" 
style="visibility:hidden;display:none" src="Book1.txt"></iframe> 
 
and when i use this line it tries to open the file using excel which i 
don't want. 
 
<iframe name="loader" id="frm" width="1000" height="300" 
style="visibility:hidden;display:none" src="Book1.csv"></iframe> 
 
Any suggestions? 
  Thanks 
Sukhmeet
