Could anyone give me a pointer as to why this isn't working - I have a selection of PDF's on my site, when the user clicks these I want the open/save as dialog box to pop but it just throws a page unavailable error instead?

The links are all okay and the PDF's are on the server..

A couple of ideas: firstly, don't forget that file names are case-sensitive on Unix/Linux servers but case-insensitive on Windows - do you have the right file names? Secondly, what does your server error log indicate? A 404 Not found or another error code?

To further encylco's suggestion on checking file names. Some file systems will rename files with spaces. ie:

new doc.MP3

gets renamed to

new%20doc.MP3

This will return a file not found if you are looking for the original file name 'new doc.MP3

Check for spaces, and remove them, or replace them with an underscore.
