Anchor tag not works in IE6 to open a PDF

Anchor tag not works in IE6 to open a PDF.

my code

<a title="Report 2010-01-31" href="/documents/reports/2010-01-31.pdf" target="_blank" class="documentLink">Work Repo开发者_运维问答rt</a>

Its work in all Browsers, except IE6. I didn't understand why its not working in IE6.

If you download you PDF-file to the PC with the (outdated) IE6 and open it with Acrobat, does this work?

I had some problems with the Acrobat. If it never started on the maschine, it shows an licence-agreement. The acrobat did not show the PDF from within IE, if the Acrobat's reader Licence is not accppted. And as browserplugin it doesn't show the licence agreement-window.

Is the file on /documents/reports/ ? is it named correctly 2010-01-31.pdf ?

does it work if you replace the url directly instead of clicking the link? (if this doesn't work then the error is in finding the file).

@DhrubaJyoti we need to know what is happening. I Mean more details.

When you click is anything happening? is another window opened?

Does the browser say anything like file not found?

PS: The / implies going back to the root of the site. So if you are on http://www.mysite.com/thisweb/thisfolder/thispage.html and you got a link that points to /anotherfolder/apdf.pdf it will be http://www.mysite.com/anotherfolder/apdf.pdf you might be expecting it to be under /thisweb but this might be concealing you.
