hey alex.d,

I have a similar problem with serving a csv file to IE 8. As in, i do
window.open("http://host/blah/file.csv";, "_blank","") and it does not
open a new window to the file specified. It does work in FF and
Chrome.

If i grab the url and manually enter it in address bar of a new window
it gives me a 'save as...' dialog window (which is fine).

Any ideas???
