Hope someone can help !
I have a jsp page which sets the content type as an excel file
<% response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); %>
My page works correctly when called using IE 5 as my browser but when using IE 5.50.4134.0600 the page opens as a excel spreadsheet - therefore I am not able to use the back button to go back to the application - does anyone know why this should be?
kind regards
Tony May

Apologies, had nothing to do with code or browser version - client had to go to tools/folder options/file types/advanced and click the browse in same window option (On Windows 2000)..
Apologies
Tony
