How to specify content type for page element displayed on web?

The content type radio button property of the page that has choices

Notes

HTML

Other

does not seem to do anthing when setting a different content type using other (content type does not appear when using view source of web page that is generated).

If I simply add the content-type line to the top of the page, the line is rendered in the browser but naturally, does not have the effect of setting the content type.

Through an agent, I can:

Print “Content-Type:…”

as the first line but I need to do this from a page.

And this user (apparently) was successful in somehow changing the content-type although ran into other issues:

Does anyone have any suggestions for setting content-type in a page?

Thanks in advance,

Well, I might be wrong about being able to add the content-type to the output of an agent. I tried the example somebody had here:

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/3abdedd37bc5a0e885256e6600716491?OpenDocument

but instead of getting an Excel spreadsheet loaded in my browser, I just got a plain HTML table (content-type was ignored and was not visible in the source of the generated spreadsheet).

So, next I tried using another client computer to access the same agent. In this computer, I was able to get the spreadsheet loaded and also get the page which used an “Other” content-type to load properly.

So the difference is somewhere on the client computers, the problematic one being XP SP2 with IE

Version:6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Cipher Strength: 128-bit

and the working system using 2000 with IE

Version:6.0.2800.1106

Cipher Strength:128-bit

Product ID:55736-401-2665072-04025

Update Versions:; SP1; Q832894; Q837009; Q831167;

Q823353; Q867801; Q833989;

I don’t why there is a difference from one to the other or where to go to fix this. Perhaps browser security settings?

Subject: Solved…

Believe it or not, the problem may have been with having too many browser windows open at the same time.

I closed all the browser windows and re-opened one only and was then able to load either the agent or the page that specified a content-type in the output.
