What a pleasant surprise to see this new format, congrats all round to plotters smile.gif

This web site http://www.greenroofblocks.com/home.html has a link to Price List that opens up this window http://www.greenroofblocks.com/images/2006_Price_List.doc

This is cool, and View | Source is no longer accessible.

Could someone tell me how this was done?

Thanks (in advance as some might say) for any help offered.

best regards,
sm

Well, the link Price List opens http://www.greenroofblocks.com/pricelist.html in a new window. There there is another link to http://www.greenroofblocks.com/images/2006_Price_List.doc . I can view source fine of both the HTML documents. The doc opens in Word and there is no view source in Word.

If you link to a *.doc, depending on how the visitors browser is configured it will either try to download it or embed it in the page

This is standard, no fancy tricks here

And of course, some of us end up with a blank browser window and a separate helper-application window. Grumble...
