Hi All,

I have created a HTML help file and I am trying to call the help from the Web application. When I click on the Help link I get a dialog box asking me if I would like to open the file from current location or save it to disk. This is the line that calls the help file.

<a href="/application/help/application.chm" target="_blank">Help</a>

How can I just click on the Help link and open the Help file in a new web page without getting the open file from current location or save it to disk dialog box? Can anyone help?

Is there a help viewer problem? Should I give the help viewer along with the application? When I double click the application.chm file on my desktop it opens automatically.

TIA
Rohina
