Nathan, Thank you for responding.

yup.. forget the new window all together, if you have it set to download as an attachment then the user won't be taken away from the page; so no need for a new window at all.

Right... so, we're all on board with the goals. Now... how do I do that? The whole problem here is that I keep getting a new window even though I don't want it. I would have thought if I told PHP to die immediately after outputting the PDF, it would give up on making the new window. I've also tried JavaScript to kill the window after it's made. *How* do I get the page to die? --Dave M G --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you are popping up a new window just to handle the download, what about using a small iframe or hidden frame to handle that instead? Bastien
