Hi All,

Ok, I have the following function that is suppose to prompt with "OK" or "SAVE" buttons (this was working correctly) but now it looks like it's giving "OK" and "Cancel" options only. I haven't changed anything but wondering where I can see if any settings have changed to make this have done this.

Any suggestions?

Code:

function exportToExcel(){
      answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to export? Click Open or Save") 
      if (answer == 1)
          location.href = "ExportResultsExcel.asp?Name=<%= sName %>

This looks like JavaScript, not ASP. The JavaScript confirm dialogue will ever only have OK or Cancel.

Ok, I was sure it wasn't doing this before and I remembered something and decided to check it out this morning.

I went to "Control Panel" on my pc then "Folder Options" then click on "File Types" tab and find XLS, highlight it and choose "Advanced" button, then make sure you check "Confirm open after download".

I think with the function in first post above, it will give you options "Ok" and "Cancel" but then with the change above will prompt to "Open" "Save" or "Cancel"...allowing user to save without having to open.
