I've got a simple html file (fileA), with a table in which each cell
contains a hyperlink to a standard text (.txt) file.
The page consists of 2 frames, with fileA in the top frame. In the <head> of
fileA is
<base target="bottom">
to direct the result of clicking on each hyperlink to the bottom frame.
On my WinXP desktop, whether loading this from my C: drive, or from my ISP
webspace, it works fine for every text file within IE.
But what I'm finding on my Win2k laptop is that some text files do indeed
get printed to the bottom frame, but others cause the IE browser to ask
whether to open the file, download (save) it or cancel. I can see absolutely
no difference in the way in which each .txt file is defined in the
hyperlink. I can only assume that somehow, the content of a .txt file cause
this behaviour. But WHY? (and can I force it to treat it as normal text?)
Cheers,
Pascal
