Lori,
So the HTML file looks like:
<html>
<body>
<a href="www.somehost.com/worddoc.doc" target="_blank">View Word
Document</a>
<br>
<a href="www.somehost.com/exceldoc.xsl" target="_blank">View Excel
Document</a>
</body>
</html>
1) The HTML works when displayed in a browser, not through Jetspeed?
2) Compare the HTML source generated by Jetspeed and the actual HTML.
Look at the href=".." in the link.
