not quite php directly but am linking within php
I have a link on a php page to a jnlp file hosted on sites.google.com. When i click on the link it goes to another page ( google sites) and gives a link to download. Clicking on that link then allows you to launch/save the jnlp.
If i type in the same url as being used by the <a href=""> in the url of IE then it launches the jnlp straight away - the question is: why when using the same href link within my website does it need to go to this intermediary webpage. Very annoying as i want the users to launch it directly from mypage
any ideas - appologies that it is not a 100% php question
