[prosper]

I need to create download function by jsp and use response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"), so i need a popup first so that i can call the jsp for response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel") and create download

User will see a popup up and then a save as...

Hi,

Use html target="_blank" it will open a new window and in the new window open the jsp with ms-excel page. If not on click of a button or link use window.open(url,'',''); the url will be the excel page. Or if you set the response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=test.xls");
will open the excel in ms-excel no in the browser windiw.

Cheers
