Opening a MS Word from JSP/HTML

[Anjishnu Bandyopadhyay <an...@infosys.com>]

Hi all,



I have a static MS Word document, which I want to open on click of a
hyperlink in my JSP page.

I am trying like: window.open('abc.doc','',600,600);



But the Word doc is not properly opening.

In IE, the document opens in the browser itself.

In Mozilla, the Word doc opens along with a blank screen.





Thanks for your time.



With best regards,

Anjishnu.

That's a client issue. As a webdesigner you have no control over that. 
All you can do is provide a simple link and let the clients save it or 
open it what ever way they want. You can't force word to open.

This issue has nothing to do with Stuts. However... You ask your browser to 
open a window, and the document into it. So IE does just what you ask it do.

Mozilla opens the window which you ask it to open, but the document opens in 
another window, WinWord, I guess.

How about just an ordinary link <a href="abc.doc" ? It all depends what you 
mean by "properly". Now you ask for a window in browser...
