I have a button on a page that is used to generated a PDF file. After it's clicked and the file is saved, the links on the page seem to behave oddly. When I click on a link (ie IE6), the browser displays the new url in the address bar, but the page shows as blank. Those links work perfectly fine if the "create PDF" button isn't clicked. I think this has something to do with the flow of control, but I don't really get it. For instance, the page that generates the PDF is called create_pdf.php. It's form submits to generate_pdf.php (which never shows because it's generates the pdf and the binary download popup (ie, open/save dialog).
I can't figure out why this causes the links on the page to kindof poop out. Does anyone understand what's going on? Would it be better if the page submits back to itself or something?
Thanks for any help
