see, the reason i posted the link and would like to know the desired end is
because without knowing what that is, the only answer that *i* know is: it's
stuck in a cached browser file and that name is more than likely some random
name that the OS decides to use.
and that's *if* the user hasn't turned off their cache and with developers
and some people who are power users and have broadband that's probably
becoming more common, granted it's not like the browser share of IE6 but I
do it to make develoment and debugging easier.
I guess what I am trying to say is this: if you want the user to actually
do something with that file, you'll more than likely have to force a
download, and as far as i know IE is the only one that will use excel in the
browser; again *assuming* that the user has Excel installed and it's
configured to open an XML file or a csv file.
