Question

I have upgraded a SharePoint, excatly same code, but now links to pdfs always prompt to save and dont open from within the browser (which they do on the old server)

old server is named: localintranet
new server is my local machine: myserver:3200 (yes its on port 3200)

Any ideas?

I did try adding my server to the list of local intranet machines in internet explorer to no avail.

I have tried both href=file.pdf target=_blank and onclick=window.open('file.pdf');return false; in the anchor tag

driving me nuts!
