Hi

I want to open the file directly within the browser (and not inside a text 
area)

I am Using window.open method to open a file.The file has no extension and 
the content of the file is pure text. If i try to open that form browser's 
file/open the content of the file is shown with the proper formatting. But 
when i am trying to open that file in side my application using Apache 
Tomcat the formatting is lost. i also tried the document.open() method to 
set mime type but it doesn't seem to be working.

Is there any way to get this working?

Yours
T.Gopalakrishnan



> 	What do you mean by "like a word pad" ?

	Your users can't edit the file ?  Put the content within the
<textarea> element then.

	The font width is monospace but you want something like Times or
Arial ?  Show the content as normal text and don't use <pre> if you had =
done
so.
