Hi,
I stumbled over seemingly simple but strange problem.
What I did:
1. I created an HTML page with frame whose src was a server-local XLS(Excel) file.
2. When I viewed the page locally in IE, Excel sheet was nicely dislayed in the frame. In Netscape case, I got an external Excel opened, which was still Ok.
3. When I ran the page using its Web address, the alpha-numeric garbabe was displayed instead in both IE and Netscape.
This happened only with Websphere. Tomcat displayed my Excel sheet correctly, as if I was vieweing the page locally.
My application is JSP-based, and, in general, does not know the file type it is going to display. It does something like:
<iframe src="<%=fileName%>"></iframe>.
How can I deal with this? Is this a known Websphere problem?
Thank you,
