Yes I am using that for the moment. The problem is that for the moment I require javascript to make it work. And I know there are browsers that block javascript, my client has already had a customer complaining that the download did not start. Temporary I solved it by puttning a link "it the download does not start within a few seconds, please click here".

I have a function similar to your code (for "sending" the file) and call it whenever I need it in the 'main' page (no special page for download used) You may want to try yourself -- Atentamente, J.
