Javascript help
John Hayes
I am a complete newbie when it comes to javascript and I need some help. Our
web site creates a text file which I would like the system to ask the user
what to do with, either open, save or cancel. Currently we use the code
below but that only puts it in the browser window and for the text files
that is fine but some of the files are csv and that won't work. If I can't
it to ask me what to do with it, can I force it to open in a new window?
Any and all help, ideas greatly appreciated.

A potential solution is mentioned in the group FAQ. It might also be a
good thing for you to read as someone new to the language.
