I have a Script which generates a PDF and i get the "File Download"-Dialog when i click it:
<a href="/exec/hotels/getdesc.php?id=22">PDF-Preview</a>
This works ok, but i would like to use a <b:button>-Instead of the anchor-Tag because the link looks crappy compared to the buttons ;-)
But a button with an click-Event and a bb.command.load doesn't work because the getdesc.pdf doesn't return a xml but a pdf file. So how can i get the button to work like a normal link?
greetings

[edit] I just found it out myself, its really easy:
<b:button>test
<e:handler event="click" type="text/javascript">
window.open("/exec/hotels/getdesc.php?id={$hotel.id}");
</e:handler>
</b:button>
<e:handler event="click" type="text/javascript">
window.open("/exec/hotels/getdesc.php?id={$hotel.id}");
</e:handler>
</b:button>
But its not ideal that a new Browser-Window is opened. (Firefox closes it instantly, but in IE it stays open)

What is exactly your problem? The pdf is unable to be loaded if you use button instead of anchor, right?
I have tested both in b:button and anchor, but the pdf is able to be loaded using both cases (b:button and also anchor).
Is it possible there is problem in your php file?
