Why would a button on my page that is supposed to open "link.html", open a "save as" prompt instead?

Extremely easy code...
<a href=&quot;link.html&quot;><img src=&quot;link_button.gif&quot;></a>

Any ideas?
 
Make sure you have a period instead of a comma there in the file name. That's a common typo that I do all the time. Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
 
LOL... no, no commas in the file name or typos anywhere.
Its very odd. I've never seen an .html file that a browser wouldn't open. Plenty that wouldn't display right, but not one the browser wouldn't at least attempt to display.

I'm thinking it may be some kind of a server setting.

Thanks for your input, tsdragon.
