script for download msword file 2

[disfasia]

This is the site

http://www.disfasia.net/cambridge.html

The problem is that when one clicks on the I20 visa button, the document is supposed to download as I have the button:
on (release) {
getURL ("application.doc"
}
This works on a mac, but not a pc i tried today. What can I do to have this file download and open in MSWord and displace the homepage? thanks, disfasia

i have a PC, i clicked the link, and the download window popped up. So, i guess there isn't a problem. I have the choice to either download or open the document from its location. Diana.

Thanks so much for testing it out!

Why, then, would a pc automatically open the file in the main window? Is there a preference in Internet Explorere that does this autmatically?

Thanks again.

sorry for having to say that but when i click the link the document opens in word (not in the browser nor with the question-popup-download-or-save).

if i were you i'd make a zip-file out of it (or an zip-.exe-archive for those who do not have winzip). that way everybody clicking the link will be asked if he wants to download or open the archive. regards
