Please excuse me, but how can you explain how can you develop Web applications at all, if you failed to format your question in HTML properly?
Please fix it.

And how come you cannot see that you information is not sufficient to help you?

I am sorry about that, but I am novice in this forum and in web development .
And my question is there is a working website where when you click on one of the tab in menu , it ask you to open/save excel file . Its working perfectly .I know the location of file also , now when i tried to replace that file with the new one by changing the name in href attribute ( by the way I put new file in same location where old file was ) its opening new tab with message file not found instead of giving me open/save dialog box.
I will be glad if you can guide me where i am going wrong .
Thanks

There is a bug detected in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, which creates problem to open links in a new tab or a new window. This issue occurs when a user right-clicks a web link/address on a web page, and then click [Open in New Window] or [Open in New Tab]. This bug makes the web page cannot be opened in a new window/tab

This is caused due to some registry problems occurred, when the program doesn’t get installed properly. To resolve this issue, follow the below steps:

CSS

1.  Go to Start > Run, type cmd and click ok.
2.  In cmd window, type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and enter it.
3.  Now you will receive the following message: DllRegisterServer in actxprxy.dll succeeded. Click Ok
4.  Restart your computer
