Problems showing asp-pages in ie8

Hi

When I try to show an asp-page with following html command

<a href="xx.asp">Show page</a>

the browser attempts to download xx.asp and not showing the page.
Can anyone help?

See the security setting "Open files based on content, not file extension."

Is xx.asp in your web root (intra/inter-net)? or is it just in a folder on
your machine (Local Machine zone)

Assuming you are using VS.... Add the file xx.asp to your project before
calling it from your web.

Regards.

This suggests a misconfigured server, not a problem in the client. You are
requesting from a HTTP server (such as IIS) rather than the local
filesystem, right? If you use a HTTP trace tool such as Fiddler2 what does
the Content-Type of the response from the server show? Does the server you
have this file on support ASP?

I run multiple servers with .asp file extensions on IIS (and previously on
ORA WebSite) and have never had IE try to download the file, so it's highly
unlikely to be a browser problem.
