Right. Just a small addition. I did some experiments with that and found that I could
get IE5
to open Excel correctly with CSV, but couldn't get Netscape 4.61 to do it. Excel
behaves a bit
strange... But what else should one except?
One other thing: You might want to map the servlet you use to a name with the
extension *.csv -
makes it easier for the user to save it and have the right association with the
corresponding
application.
