RE: opening a pdf file in a new window

I would be curious to see if anyone has an answer to this.  I have been
having the same problems with PDF's.  If I save the target file to my hard
drive, it opens fine.  But, if I click on the link to open, all I get is a
blank page.  The file type is set to open with Acrobat Reader and actually,
the reader loads, but just with a blank page.

Subject: opening a pdf file in a new window


I'm trying to link to a PDF document and in doing so open a new browser
window to display the PDF. I am using the following code

<a HREF="pdf/8.pdf" TITLE="This will open a new browser window - close it to
return to SIGNet" target="_new">Obesity</a>

On the live site this works as intended. However, I am intending showing a
demo of the site at a meeting today and require to show a local version of
the site. Using IE5 the local version opens a new window put does not load
up the required PDF file. I'm at a loss to explain this.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Please contact me directly as I'm on the
digest version of the list.

Thanks
