File Download - Security Warning in IE when trying to open a link to an image

[bfiser]

Good morning everyone. I have an issue with a page I developed using
ASP. On my page I have active (or is it dynamic) hyperlinks to photos
of employees based on their employee number. When I click on the
thumbnail in Internet Explorer I get a message box titled File Download
- Security Warning and it asks me to open or save if I click open it
does nothing, if I click save it wants me to save the page showpic.asp
On my machine nothing happens on other machines if I click open it will
open the image from the C drive through a temporary internet type
folder.

In Firefox if I click the thumbnail it will open properly within the
window and the URL it displays is proper
(i.e. domain.com/idapp/showpic.ASP?AF_Employee_Number=xxxxxx)

How can I get Internet Explorer to open this page properly and quit
asking to open or save? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

What is the content type defined by showpic.asp ?

My guess would be that one browser understand the content type you used
while the other doesn't...

Patrice you are awesome! I had my content type as jpg...when I
switched to JPEG it resolved my issue and works in both browsers!
Awesome, thanks much!

Although your question has been answered, please not that this newsgroup is
