Mark, what causes it to be downloaded is a header called "Content-Disposition". If it's there and says "attachment" then the browser will present it as a download, whatever the media type. If it's not there, the browser will choose what to do depending on what it supports (png or html: can display, doc: will download ...).
The html head element will not influence that. Can it be that the link you have has an extra parameter called "forceDownload=1". At least in earlier versions, this is what added the header. Removing it would be the trick. Note that offering html documents to upload and preview to "anybody" is a rather big security issue but probably this is not an issue here. paul > Mark J.
