Hi,
I know there have been alot of posts on this subject... and I probably have read most of them.
Ive got this script (look below) that works beatifully in 95% of all cases.
The problem is that my client is using a browser that's with the other 5%...
He's using Internet Explorer 5.00.2314.1003 on NT4 SP6.
The script works, it forces the download, problem is that when he downloads a PDF-file he gets 2 boxes asking him what he wants to do with the file.
The machine I'm working on has IE 5.00.3315.1000 on it and I don't have the problem.
This is my last chance... otherwise I'll have to start thinking on a way how to tell him it just isn't possible.
Thanx,
Bert
