Display MS-Word file in browser

How to display a word file in the browser..when i tried with
<A HREF="C:\Desktop\a.doc">Here</A>

it is giving save/open option..how to open this in the browser directly...

thanks in advance

Seems this is not related to Java. You should ask this question on a web forum.

jazz,
the only way to justify your post here is that you might want to read the .doc file in a jsp/servlet and display the contents using an expression in the browser. For that simple I/O is required.

@Eranga,
I just hope that's not the case. :p

It is,

Code:

---

<A HREF="C:\Desktop\a.doc">Here</A>

Here nothing to do with JSP or Servlet. Thread starter should ask his question much clearly in that sense.

thanks for your replies...yeah i want to disply .doc and .xls files in the browser using JSP/Servlet...for that i succeeded with some settings in the browser,go to a Folder then click on Tools | Folder Types | File Options and go down to DOC, click on Advanced and remove the checkbox from 'Browse in same window'. If i user <A HREF="C:\Desktop\a.doc">Here</A> this is opening in a new window....
