Displaying rtf contents in a browser

dummieq · Dec 2, 2003

Hi,
I am facing a problem in displaying content on the web browser. What I want to be able to do is to display an rtf document in the web browser. I set the Mime types in the IIS to application/rtf. But, when I try to view this in the browser, it comes with all the formatting details and a lot of messy code. What should I do to just view the content.

Thanks

try Response.ContentType = "text/rtf" or
Response.ContentType = "text/richtext"

I create a test.rtf document on my server and an html page to link to it. Here's the html:
<html><head></head><body>
<a href="test.rtf">Click Here</a>
</body></html>

The mime map on my server is empty yet the document still comes up fine. Maybe you should clear the mime map and start over.

Just a Quick question Veep..Does the rtf document open up with a different application or is it displayed within the browser.
Thanks for ur help.
