Re: Edit with notepad

Why not just provide them with two different links to the document-- one version includes the tag, the other doesn't. -Mike Forbes Ng Hwee Hwee wrote:

hi, header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word"); is not what my customers want. They may or may not want to save it in their harddisk.. but having the header at the beginning of my page will force them to save it in their harddisk. Some of the customers just want to view it on the web while others want to view it in Word and possibly edit it and then save it.. how can i achieve such flexibility for them? thank you!! regards, hwee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Smith [MVP, Digital media]" <php@comatose.freeserve.co.uk> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Cc: <hhwee@towa.com.sg> Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 2:25 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: Subject: Edit with notepad

Send before any content, an MS-Word header : header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word"); Then output your HTML. Cheers - Neil. At 07:41 10/05/2004 +0000, you wrote:
