cfcontent file/mime SAVE AS filename problem 1

[chidori]

Hi,

I am trying to make a coldfusion page return a file to a user whenever the user clicks on the link, but whenever the SAVE AS dialouge box opens the default "save as" name is the same name as the webpage and not the name of the actual file it is saving.

For example:
in my actionpage.cfm I use the following code:

<CFCONTENT TYPE=&quot;application/excel&quot; FILE=&quot;c:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\CFApps\richard\exceltemp.xls&quot;>

It returns the exceltemp file to the user however, the default save as name is actionpage.cfm which can really confuse the user because the file they are saving is actually called exceltemp.xls. the reason why I can't directly link to the file is because I am dynamically generating it whenever people click on the coldfusion page.



Thanks in advance

Try adding this to your code:

<CFHEADER NAME=&quot;content-disposition&quot; VALUE=&quot;attachment; filename=exceltemp.xls&quot;>
