How to open a word doc in firefox in a write mode using asp.net
-
Hi friends I have a doc file in my project folder. I want the user to download the doc file for their reference. In that case, I used <a> tag <a href="sample.doc" >download the sample doc</a> The file opens well in IE in a write mode so that user can edit and save the file in his system memory. When I open the file using firefox, it opens in a read only mode so I m unable to modify/edit the file. I can modify it only after saving the file in my system memory... I need to open the file in a write mode in firefox browser while open action without saving. Could u help me how to solve this issue Advance thanks.

Hi Done abit of testing and can replicate this. Have you though of using something firefox addins afew that may suit your needs include http://www.addictivetips.com/internet-tips/openedit-any-document-or-image-online-with-openit-add-on/[^] This allows you to open the document in online document programs i.e. google or maybe a better option would be [IEView] which allows you to open the existing html document or a link in IE, so therefore persumable it would open in writable mode.
