Links from a .asp page to .xls or .ppt pages do not open
am 21.12.2007 04:40:00 von JasonCarterThis came up after an update to one of our web pages where clients can
download or view some files directly from the site. There are a few links on
the page, some to .pdf files, some to .xls or .ppt files. The links to the
..pdf files open correctly, but the links to .xls or .ppt files do not work.
The code specifies that the file should come up in a new page, so when the
link is click, the new window comes up for a second and then disappears. No
errors appear to come up at all, it just goes away and takes us back to the
original page.
If I paste the full link to the .ppt or .xls page in a browser, it opens
correctly.
WebDav is enabled and I have added the .xls and .ppt mime types as both
application/ms-excel (or ms-powerpoint) and application/octect-stream. This
does not appear to help.
The server is IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 standard edition. Anyone have any
ideas on this one?
