    Well now..... That is truly impressive!

    I truly did not believe that was possible. At the very least, I assumed that it would require some sort of ActiveX control. I am not sure that I will ever require that capability, but thanks for sharing the solution.

    Well done.

    Out of curiousity, what happens if the link is clicked, but the user does not have a SPIN editor? Does it still open in the browser?

    Still can't get Firefox of Chrome to do anything but download that spin file and save it.

    Hi
    Works in IE 11 on Win 7 64bit. It opens in wordpad! after a security question for permission to open, without me directing it which editor to use.
    I have Simple Ide, but I have been using Geany to edit PropBasic and view the resulting spin files.

    Just to clarify what it does on my system, which is XP SP3 with IE 8. Clicking the link activates an Open/Save dialog box. When the Open button is clicked, it opens up the Propeller Tool (1.2.7(R2)) and loads the file.

    Some progress. My Chrome on Debian now downloads the file, whic then shows in the download bar at the bottom of the Window. Then clicking on that opens the file in PropellerIDE. A two step process. No idea why this started working to day.

    Firefox steadfastly refuses to do anything but download.

    Here's what I get from Windows 7 Pro 64 bit in IE 11:

    attachment.php?attachmentid=112754&d=1420904239

    If I click on "Open" it starts the Propeller Tool and opens the SPIN file.

    Way to go Phil!

    Same machine with Chrome will just download the file.

    But can you then click on the download at the bottom of the Chrome window and have it run PropellerIDE. That's how it goes here. Firefox won't play though.

    Yup. That's how I get 99% of my SPIN files, (except in the OBEX, where you get SPIN text files, Parallax, please fix that!).

    I was just happy that Phil got that one click solution with IE going. I'm Ambidextrous-Browser. :)

    Tested with IE11 version 11.0.9600:

    When clicked the link => opens text file in browser (spin)

    RightClick => save target as : then it saves the 'eeprom file' Ha!

    Chrome only shows a 'save as window' (spin file only)

    Fixed! Man, it took an amount of time I do not want to talk about to find that thing again.

    I was just mentioning it worked with IE. I don't have Firefox on this computer, but will test.

    Now i wonder ... if Propellent were the default program assigned to .spin files, if you could have one-click compile-and-load from the internet.
