Hi,
I have a JSP page which list all excel files in a folder(excel file name as html link):

http://localhost/myapps/excel/abc.xls.
http://localhost/myapps/excel/123.xls.


the problem is .... when I click on and excel file, it doesn't launch excel, but displayed a binary...something like a text file with a lot of special character(etc. õÿ ôÀ à )


I want to let the user click on a file name and launch excel in browser(if they have excel in their client PC).... any idea how to do that ?I know I have to set the mime type... but where ?


Thanks in advance

rgds,
