Instead of opening, links download to temp file
This is the weirdest thing, and my client is fuming about it since they cannot view their site properly! So I test:
When I open their site in IE, I get the normal page and all links go where they should and display properly. It works perfect.
When I open their site with Firefox the main page displays correctly, but as soon as I try to take a link, it downloads the html file, saves it on my hard drive, and opens the "local file" in a new tab - which of course shows each image as a box with a red X and the address location of the local file. (Only the html file downloads, not the images, so naturally the browser would display it that way with the path given.) It gets worse. I cannot even type the path to the new page in the address bar. Instead of loading the page, it downloads the file, saves it, and displays the local file in a new tab minus all images. No chance of navigating to any page on the site.
Both computers in my office work the same.
I thought is was a Firefox problem so I called to tell them so, and I found out they're using IE and are getting the same results I get with Firefox! Not just on one, but on all of their computers! I asked them, "You're SURE it's IE? You click on a big blue e to get there?" "Yup."
How can IE work perfect for me, and not for them? I believe we're both using ver 6.0.
I guess I have to give the URL so you can see this. http://www.****insonhomes.com (D i c k i n s o n Homes)
If you have any ideas I'd sure like to have some help with this since they are holding me (their web designer) responsible. I swear I've done nothing new to their site in the past few days!
Thanks...

Reason: Link was not readable, so I added Co. name.

Well it works fine in IE 7 for me. I get the same problems with FF as you do.

So no one has any helpful ideas?
I removed the CSS info and the javascript rollover code because I thought maybe it was something with the code. I still have the same problem in FF and the client has the same problem in IE. I'm running out of ideas here.
