Here's a little snippet that I used yesterday that seems to do the trick -
not sure if the file write is necessary, but I was in a hurry and it works
on ie6
Bert
(ps #form.report_html# is an HTML page which they are supposed to save to
their pc)
<cfset temp_filename = GetTempFile(GetTempDirectory(),"tbf")>
<cffile action = "write"
file = "#temp_filename#"
output = "#form.report_html#"
addNewLine = "No">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="attachment; filename=tbfreport.htm">
<cfcontent type="application/unknown" file="#temp_filename#"
deletefile="yes">
