Downloaded the sendMail.htm and sendMail.asp sample files
from technet onto my IIS 4.0 server. The first 2-3 times
I tested all went well. Subsequent tests, with no server
changes, gave/gives me the "File Download" dialogue box
when the sendMail.asp file should be executing. Why does
sendMail.asp give a "File Download" box instead of just
executing?
I need to have script that automatic download files (open a "save file

files.asp?file=2 shall automaticly download file2.mp3 (open a dialogbox for

View Replies View RelatedA site that i developed with asp seems to work perfectly in internet explorer - however there is a problem with netscape 6.2 + 7 where 2 table Columns are being pushed over to the right - the strange thing is when i use the back button on the browser and go back to the page it seems fine.
i was just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem + if its easily fixed.
I have a web application designed to allow non-english characters to be entered in through a form, held in Access and displayed on another page.Each of my pages have the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
My problem is this: if I go to the data entry page and enter Unicode text in Netscape, the text displays ok -- in Netscape, not in IE. Conversely, when I enter Unicode text in IE, the text displays ok -- in IE, not in Netscape.I have been testing it by copying and pasting text from the Unicode.org page such as this one for Arabic:
http://unicode.org/standard/translations/arabic.html
why Unicode is being treated differently here?
I have stored all my css classes etc in an asp file, or should I say in my favorite html editor, when it asks me where to save my css, I name it as css.asp.

Currently i am doing a file management project where user are able to create folder and upload files to it. The file ownner would be able to set permission (from database linking to the file path) if a user able to download it or not.
*each file info will be stored into a table e.g. fileid, filename, path, access.
Now i am facing a problem where if a user does not have permission to click on the link to download, the user can guess the path and the file name and directly type the path on the address bar to download the file.
i want to be able to write an asp.net function to download files.
For example, brinkster.com hosting service has a COM component that allows a stream of binary data to the client from the server so that the client will be prompted to download the file.
here is the syntax:
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
Dim SysFilePath
SysFilePath = Request.QueryString("filePath")
' Parmeters:
' 1. Path to file to download
' 2. Yes, build content-xxx headers
' 3. Use this value for Content-Type header
' 4. Include the word "attachment;" to Content-Disposition to force download
Upload.SendBinary "premfs3sitespremium8jaydakissx22webrootmyFile.txt, True, "application/octet-binary", True
How can I do this in asp.net without using the "Persits.Upload" COM object?

how do i create a file download utility that limits the number of users? for example, a maximum of 5 users can download a particular file at the same time.
i can use asp (not asp.net), javascript, maybe read/write a text file if necessary.
if anyone had any script that can allow a page to run some code and then kick off a file download.Maybe like many places do saying download should start automatically or you can "click here".I appologise if this is easy to work out from the source of one of those pages, but my view source seems to have died and I thought an answer from here might be quicker than fixing it!

I have coded a file upload process in ASP and the current way I allow files to be downloaded, which have been uploaded is by using the <a href> tag. This works but it normally opens the files for the user in a new browser window. What I would like to do is present the user with a download link which opens the Windows File Download dialog box.
I thought there might be an easy way to do this kind of like HTML provides for uploading a file… which is the input type=file (presents the user with the browse button). Is there an easy way to present the user with a Windows File Download dialog box?
Does anyone know of anything that will allow uploads to a server then show the URL of the file so the user can send and email to someone so it can be downloaded?
