Link to txt file: messed up format when I save target as
Okay, I have user submitted quizzes that my program links to, they're txt file scripts, and here's a real simple sample:
'Session 1 - Introducing Windows 98
A computer will not function without an operating system
*T
F
An intranet is a vast collection of computer networks that spans the entire planet
T
*F
Pictures or symbols that represent hardware, application programs, and data files are called graphics
T
*F
Right-clicking the mouse displays shortcut menus
*T
F
The Start button is used to open documents and load applications
*T
F
It looks perfect when the user clicks the link to this file and views it through Internet Explorer, but unfortunately if they try to right-click the link and Save Target As, the line breaks become simple characters in a single continuous line, like this:
Now the obvious solution is to have the users simply click the link, highlight all of the text and cut it from the browser and then paste it into notepad, but is there a way to make it easy on users by allowing them to right-click the link and save target as without turning the file into the above mess?
