When I download a CSV file from a java run page after the download is complete it'll create a new empty tab and the focus goes to this new tab. I want to stop the creation of the the new tab as I just kill it each time I download. Is there someway to stop the creation of the new tab? Thanks Skye

After the download? That is a bit odd. What is it's web address?

This is the address on the new tab:

https://flightdesk.scotiaitrade.com/ReportServlet?name=WatchList_21327767&type=CSV&sid=4li8DZMjMKJrunsYn5SDvwjs

Flightdesk is a program I got from my online broker. I'm using it to download prices/stocks etc into a csv file.

I assume the csv file is downloaded first as after I kill the new tab I work with the file.

Thanks. Skye

Are you left-clicking a link to download the file?

If you do then right-click the file and use "Save Link As" instead.

Its a java run web page and whether I left or right click I get the same result. Basically a pull down menu gives me a number of choices of which one is CSV file which i choose. Thanks
