I am having same problem in GWT 1.7.
In my application, I need to download file from server to client. So I
am directly using file path in window.open as shown below
Window.open(“d:\result.xls”,"_self","");
This opens in Firefox as expected however this doesn’t work with IE7.
Please let me know if there is any workaround to do this.
I need this very urgently. Please help me out in resolving this.
