OK Button in Dialog box greyed out when linking to Word file barrygoodz 01-08-2008

I have set up links on a web page to Word files. When you click the
link a dialog box opens asking whether to open or save the file. The
default program to open the file is MS Word. So far so good.

The problem is that the "OK" button in the dialog box is greyed out.
Click on it once, and it becomes available (un-greyed). Clicking a
second time opens the file.

The link looks like this: <a href="spec_clipon_int.doc"
target="_blank">. If anyone can help me solve this small but annoying
problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Barry
