    Link for file download

    I had a website running on an IIS server and everything was fine. I recently moved it to an external web server and am having problems with a link that should prompt the user to download a file. When the link is clicked it now displays the contents of the file rather than prompting for download.


    <a href=scripts/breakdownOutput.was>Download the generated script</a>


    Any thoughts? Is it a server setting? I hope not because I don't have access to those settings. I can't think of anything in the code that would make it display rather than download. Maybe a file permission issue?


    Edit: I just tried it with IE and it works. Firefox was what was causing it?
