I am trying to download an msi file using javascript.

I am using the command

location.href = "http://www.edj.com/product.msi";

For IE it works fine.
For Netscape it seems to try and open the file.

thanks,
jon

I believe that IE does a dodgy and that is why it works, applications are supposed to be started by mime type. The server will/can be configured to set a specific mime type and the browser can be configured as to the action taken when that mime type is seen.  From memory netscape tells you the mime type in it's popup.
