Am setting up a preview window for a client's mailDownLoad directory--so can view actual items, not just a list of them. Using CFMX
Am accessing this preview template via a form select which shows all files in directory--desired one to preview page sent as "Attach". On preview page, determine type of file by parsing the extension, as doc, pdf, jpg, etc: then use the attach's extension to get the type for cfcontent Sample code <CFSet theFile = Attach> <CFSet ext = LCase(ListLast(Attach,"."))> <CFSwitch expression="#Variables.ext#"> <cfcase value="doc"> <CFSet type = "application/msword"> </cfcase> <CFCase value="xls"> <CFSet type="application/msexcel"> </CFCase> <cfcase value="pdf"> <CFSet type="application/pdf"> </cfcase> <CFCase value="html,htm"> <CFSet type="text/html"> </CFCase> <CFCase value="txt"> <CFSet type="text/html"> </CFCase> </CFSwitch> <CFSet Folder = Request.BasicPath & "MailDownLoads\"> <CFSet FetchFile = Folder & theFile> then for output: <cfcontent file="#Variables.FetchFile#" type="#Variables.Type#"> all seems to work fine for pdf and txt and pictures --desired document opened and shown in adobe, etc. For doc however, get message that "proper input not received" for xls, get IE prompt to either download or open file. If choose open, opens it in Dreamweaver. I've never used CFContent before, so I assume I'm using it incorrectly, but don't know where as the pdf and txt work fine. Appreciate any guidance.
