O.P. Roll Eyes  Forcing Firefox to show "Save as" dialog, or automaticly start downloading the file?
Hello.

I have a text file (with a changed extension) on my webserver.
When I click the link of the file in firefox,  firefox just displays the contents of the text file while IE automaticly opens the file, which is what I actually want to happen...
Or, if I cant do that, show the save as dialog instead of displaying what the file has...

I searched google and i found this: http://www.codecomments.com/PERL_CGI_Beginners/message611929-1.html

Well, as I'm not using Perl, but PHP, I didn't really understand what he did... :-/

Can anyone help me?

I think it has something to do with the headers....

Thanks! :)
