Seems that the "always ask before opening this type of file" checkbox applies to both open and save, in a weird sort of way. (It is disabled only if no program is designated to open the file type.)

I must not have unchecked "always ask", as this is a disabled option for ZIP, so I probably did something else. Anyway, this worked. The advanced button gave me the right option. It may seem like a pain to do this for every file type I download, but it's easier that editing the registry...

I accidentally unchecked the "always ask" box in my IE6 SP2 download dialog box, and now it downloads automatically without asking me where to save the ZIP file I point to. I have tried changing security settings in all zones for "Downloads - Automatic Prompting / File Download" -- enable or...

I will pass this advice on to my associates. No one likes to risk breaking the unbroken, but it seems the reset approach to CSS may have a bigger payoff in the end, especially going forward. I still wish I could find documentation of IE default styles, though, as a point of reference. Thanks. Craig

I appreciate the input on this topic. Before I am persuaded to give up on this direction, however, let me offer some relevant details I left out, given that our situation is far from ideal: We operate a "learning management system", which is essentially a content managment setup where we only...

So right about "javascript:"! I did a little more research into the logic of avoiding pseudo protocols, and it seems that they... * disable the normal bookmarking process, including "open in tabs". * disable link copying. * are not accessible to web crawlers. * adversely affect search engine...

Interesting, Foamcow. I'm assuming you mean that "version 4" browsers have trouble with the pseudo protocol? Craig

I am looking for the location of the IE 6.0 default browser style sheet on my Win2000 PC (if it exists in a readable form), or else a URI which documents IE 6.0 default browser styles. My goal is to build a new cross-browser compatible version of a web site that was originally designed for...

I agree with the above suggestions and would add this: To make your page behave the same in Mozilla-type browsers as in IE, I would add the following style: body {margin:0px; height:100%;} This ensures that the table will fill 100% of the body height and not just 100% of the viewport height...

This post brings up an important question I have: Where can I find documentation for IE6 default browser styles? I want to use the info to create a cross-browser version of a site developed for IE-only by putting all relevant IE6 defaults into the site's style sheet and forcing compliance to...

Here a quick, easy, and flexible option I have found to solve this problem: Use the following JS in the anchor tag. <a onclick="javascript:this.target='_blank'" href="..."> The following example tests OK in HTML Strict, and it also works in Transitional and quirks mode. It will not affect code...
