Xp sp2: unable to open html files via file download dialog

[gilbert schakal]

Under xp sp2
I submit a form with a hidden iframe as target to an aspx page. The submit
allows the user to download any type of file.
When the file to download is .html I am unable to open it directly clicking
on "Open" button of file download dialog .
When I save the file then open it or when I put another application then ie6
as default opener for .html files or with all other type of files no
problem...
The same code works fine under W2k
I've already tried all microsoft suggestions concerning xp sp2 and ie6
Can anybody helps!
thanks
Gilb.

Hi,

I don't think IFRAME will work on XPSP2, especially if the source of the
IFRAME is different from the source of the containing HTML page.

Besides, what do you mean exactly by "all microsoft suggestions"?

Kind regards

Hans

Hi Hans,

But is it a normal behaviour (for security issue) or a bug considering that
it was working fine with W2k or with another browser?

By all microsoft suggestions, I mean:
Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
Part 5: Enhanced Browsing Security
