Hi, I want to open a word document on the server upon clicking on a link in my web page. I dont want the browser to ask Open/Save..Instead it should open the file directly using word application.


I also need advice on converting the word doc to html format and showing it in the browser itself so that the need for MS-Word does not arise.



Please help me



Thanks,
Sri

you should handle it by your server side app. write a servlet that handles *.doc requests and sends a response that directly opens the file in the browser.
