I have an ExtJS application that needs to display an html document within a panel. The application works fine in FF and chrome However, when I attempt to use this functionality inside Internet Explorer 8 a pop-up appears:

“Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?
Name: getBinary Type: Unknown File Type, 688KB From:
SERVER_NAME_HERE”

I have not included the code because it’s my company’s property but could probably create a mock-up if it’s really needed. I first wanted to see if there was any common knowledge on this type of issue that I haven’t been able to find online.

    Ok I figured it out and have to apologize to the good people here at stackoverflow. IE8 was not having trouble displaying a .html page. The page was actually a .xhtml file which I learned by digging deeper into the code, one of our developers just named it .html :/

    So there are two different solutions to get internet explorer 8 to display a .xhtml file.

    1. You can use the hack/fix mentioned here w3c xhtml fix

    2. You can change the .xhtml file’s extension to .html (this is more risky) but in my particular case no additional information was being lost.
