A. There are security concerns about letting a Web page control behavior on an end users machine. The Web is designed so that the things a Web page can do are very limited.
For the most part, with regards links to documents, a Web page can only make a call to the browser to display the document (and then the browser makes a call to the operating system). Normally, a Web page cannot tell a browser how or where to open that document. Because if it could, then malicuous people could do very bad things.
So how a non-Web format document opens up depends on 1) the end users browser and 2) the end users operating system. You will find that the behavior you are seeing is not even consistent against all instances of IE (because someone may have configured their browser's security settings to behave differently). Now, I did say for the most part.
I said this because it is possible to write a script that has a Web page do certain things with regards opening documents. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
