How to set Http Header in a pop windows?

[tonygale]

I need to set the MIME type to application/vnd.ms-excel in a pop out window. How can I do this in Javascript? I tried document.open("application/vnd.ms-excel");
But, it doesn't work.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

AFAIK, you would have to do this server-side when the content is delivered to the popup.

Hope this helps,

You can't set the headers client-side. You would have to do this server-side. Do you have something like php avaiable? If so, output the header from php then start streaming the content file (again, using php).

The only javascript part is the initial window.open() call that requests a php file that might take an excel file name as a passed parameter.

Best to post the request in the server-side forum that matches your environment (php, asp, jsp, cfm etc).
