I am seeking info on how to install a script of some kind that can
detect if a user's IE browser blocked a download that they started and
display a page the explains how to fix it. In other words, a user
clicks a link to download a file named "testing123.fnm" and IE blocks
the download and shows the information bar, but the end user doesn't
know what to do from there so I would like the browser to redirect to a
page that tells them the download was blocked and how to fix it.

Thanks!!

That shouldn't be necessary as that information shoujld already
be displayed. However, we might not be talking about the same
browser or os or anything else, either, since you gave no info
about the system you're inquiring about.

I am talking about IE on any OS that has SP2 built-in that by default
blocks "Automatic Downloads". I understand that the information bar
shows what happened, but I need to be able to spell it out for our
clients....because we get so many calls where people say its not
working...and when I walk them through it and show them the information
bar...then they get it. I hope that helps.

Thanks again!!
