Opening PDF file in IE, how do I code it?

[Winchester]

In Firefox, all I do is click the link and it opens, under IE, when I click the link it just opens a blank window and does nothing. How can I fix this. I do no want to have people to have to right click and save as, I just want them to be able to click the link and wallah, like Firefox.

Any suggestions


I am using Windows XP with SP2 other computers with the same are having the problem as well.

.PDFs pull up by clicking on them for me.

"voila" not "wallah".

Your the webmaster in this situation? Is the MIME type being set properly in the headers?

Found this note at MS

If you "enable content expiration" on the HTTP Headers, then add the following MIME type:

Associated Extension: .pdf

Content Type (MIME): application/pdf

Thanks Bill, will try it.

Any idea on how to code that, where to put it? I am googling but not getting any direct answers.

I added it to my Direct Admin MIME Types.

I put application/pdf as my type and PDF as the extension. Doesnt seem to be working, unless it takes it awhile to update.

what kind of webserver are you running? If it's IIS, simply restarting it should do the trick if it doesnt take effect immediately.

I have a reseller account through a hosting company, no server side access.
