Hello Sameer, Are you using frame set with in which you have this html file which will call a servlet and that servlet will actually download the .txt file that you are giving it as download, isn't it?
And your download file name is "downloadFile.htm" right? If you use frame set and inside that frame set you download any thing then your download file will have the name of your parent frame name and it will contain the html code of your parent frame. I had the same problem previously. I have solved this problem using some other work around. I presume all that I have explained above were true and I will try to give the idea that I have implemented to solve this problem. Actually the problem is because the download file has the file name of the name which is there in the address bar. So, If the attachment file name is from the same file that is there in the address bar it downloads the attachment file other wise it trys to download the file in the address bar. So I exploited this behaviour of browser and I tried like I called the file downloading JSP/servlet in a serperate new window, I set the new Window's width and height as 10,10 respectivley. So that the window won't be visible for the user. Then I wrote one java script method to close that window after a few seconds. So the window will come and sit in your start menu bar, after some time it will automatically closed by that Javascript function. I hope this solves your problem..
