I think you misunderstood some advice from somewhere.
Content-type supplies a mime type for the browser to enable it to load a helper application or if it has none to offer to save the file.
Once your httpd is configured correctly, all you have to do is print
<a href="http://$myhost/http/path/to/spreadsheet><img src="/images/excell.gif"></a> to the browser. unless you're publishing the spreadsheet directly (mention of looking at line 300 for the spreadsheet scared me off reading your script
) if you are generating and printing the spreadsheet from a script then no HTML should be sent and you should really use the correct mime type for the spreadsheet in the header information sent to the browser [icode]content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel[/code]
