No, there's no way to do so without installing code on the client side. Also, this type of query should be best addressed at JSP-INTEREST; here's a link for you to subscribe there:   http://archives.java.sun.com/jsp-interest.html   HTH,     Juan Pablo Lorandi Chief Software Architect Code Foundry Ltd.

But what i Really want to achieve is that the user should not be asked for an Dialouge box, instead it should Download the Text file directly to "Desktop"(By Default)...without opening the dialog box..   That is i want to Bypass the Opening of DialogBox step and display a message to the User that the file has been downloaded to the desktop.... Is there a way to do so...if yes can anybody help me out with the solution...   <Code>   public HttpServletResponse doDownloadFile(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException {    ServletOutputStream stream = null;   res.setContentType("application/binary");   String fname1 = req.getParameter("BusinessId"); String fname2 = req.getParameter("AccountUserId"); String fname =fname1+"-"+fname2+".txt"; res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=\""+fname+"\";");   BufferedInputStream bif = null;   try { bif = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("C:/ABCD/download/XYZ/"+fname));    stream = res.getOutputStream(); byte [] buf = new byte[20480]; int data; while(( data = "" != -1) { stream.write(buf, 0, data); stream.flush();     } bif.close(); stream.close();    return res; } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("The Exception in MainServlet is :"+e); } finally { if (stream != null) stream.close(); return res; } }//end of method   </Code>   Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.. Thanks a million in advance, Regards Sam
