I verified that documents that are linked by similar javascript links ARE
downloaded. For example, the document referenced by the URL 

peditor/editor_docenti2c8b.html?id=8449&IDTopic=172&IDArticletype=1051

in the following javascript:

javascript:openEditor('peditor/editor_docenti2c8b.html?id=8449&IDTopic=172&IDArticletype=1051')

is correctly downloaded. So I thought that the problem can be that the
document that is referenced by 

javascript:download_attach('/public/images/pagine/656/allegati/TAD voti
08_06_04.doc')

is a DOC. Are DOCs normally downloaded? Or should I allow downloading of DOC
files by some particular option?
Thanks for any help.
