Force open of mime type

[John Hayes]

Is there a way to force the client to open a particular file type. Currenlty
text files that are opened by the web site are opened inside the browser, I
would like to stop this and have them prompted to open or save the file.

Thanks

John

See the FAQ (<URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/>). Your answer is there.

So you know in advance, this cannot be done with Javascript.
