David, You could have your response return HTML with rendered JavaScript; the script would then automatically pop open a new window with the destination link that generates your unstructured content. You could even provide a link in the response if the JavaScript doesn't run automatically.

Essentially, I have a nicely rendered HTML report in browser "a" and when the user clicks "export to PDF" or "export to excel" I want a NEW browser to pop up into which I will send the response with the headerType set to the appropriate type. the generation of the XL and PDF is handled for me, but the app flow is where Im foggy. anyone done this? -- -Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
