| If you disable it, what do you want should be happening instead? |

| I don't think you can disable it. This all depends on however the user's computer has been setup. For instance, you set it up so no dialog box appears again. You don't get the dialog anymore. But when I try to click the link, it might very well happen that I do get the dialog box... |

Just make a link to the file. The open/save box wil appear if its a file that your browser can't handle. Like .exe or .zip |

What if the file is a .doc or .xls file. Please send me the code. |

I believe both IE and FireFox get supported by Microsoft Office, so I think you just can make an ordinary link to open an .doc or .xls -file in the browser. Just make it like this:
| Code: |
| <a href="thefile.doc">Click here to read the file</a> |
I hope that will work.

| I have the same line of code in my html page. But it is opening in a browser. I want the open save dialog box to be displayed when the link is clicked. Please tell me how to do this. |

Zip the file, the browser can't handle a .zip file. I think that's the only option you have here...  |

| You can also make a link as I wrote, and then tell the users to rightclick > save as. |

| True, that's just a regular link, you just have to go along with about 2 more actions. |
