Hi…
In one of our requirement, we may want to open a MS Excel document from the DSP page. Please let me know if there is any way out.
Thanks Rocky
Rocky,
Unless I’m misunderstanding the requirement, the following should work: . DSP is just HTML with the additional DSP tags, so this should have the effect of opening the XLS file within the browser.
You could probably get away with , where fileName is a variable in the pipeline.
Now if the excel file is part of a node in the pipeline output, that’s a different matter.

Hi
Thanks for the response.
Yes, the excel file would be a part of the pipelineout as Node.
Is there any way to display the node as excel document, from the dsp page. ?
Thanks Rakesh
Hi Phil
Any updates on the above query ?
thanks Rocky
No time to try it out for you this AM, but have you tried , where nodeVar contains your document?
Its not working, instead it displays the object ( we see them as some junk data )
How about writing the node to a file (named temp.xls) in the pub directory of your package, and then referencing it with the HTML from previous posts? Is this a doable thing with your flow?
