HTML - Automatic Downloading Of Purchased Sound Files
How do I get a sound file to automatically download when a user enters the page after purchsing?
Thanks. Similar TutorialsHi, I'm making my first website, and I'm trying to embed an mp3 file into a page. So far I have a folder of html files on my computer an haven't uploaded to a server yet. With the file "Telefone529Musicology.mp3" in this folder, and using the tag: Code: <embed src="Telefone529Musicology.mp3" WIDTH="145" HEIGHT="60" AUTOPLAY="true" LOOP="true"></embed> I can't get it to work on either FF or IE7, and I want it to work on both, since they seem to be the most popular browsers. In FF, my page loads, and at the point of the embed tag I get a square box containing the quicktime logo and a question mark, with no sound. I checked my quicktime settings, and the default action for .mp3 files is to use the quicktime plugin, and I'm sure it has worked in the past so is it a problem with the code or some other settings I need to configure on my browser? Likewise, in IE7, the same thing happens, except I get a box with a little red cross, and no sound. Again, I'm sure my quicktime plugins are up to date, and configured to play mp3 files, so I'm lost. I'd really like to get this working, Thanks I am using the following code to embed sound files and everything works fine but I would like for the sound files to begin downloading when "play" is hit and not when the web loads (automatically starting the download of all sound files). Thanks. <embed src="gtr.mp3" autostart="false" loop="false" width="300" height="42" controller="true" bgcolor="#F9000"></embed> Hi, I want visitors to be able to download files (.mp3) from my web site . I've looked through some of the posts on this and some seem to say just use something like: <a href="http://yourdownloadfile.mp3">Download This</a> others mention php. What is the best to use? Do I need php? Thanks Hi, I'm putting up a store that sells downloadable content and am having trouble with the download procedure in the osCommerce system. Under Linux it works great but the host I am using uses Microsoft Server and after about 10 mb or 4 minutes time it runs out of resources and reports the download is complete when it is not. Now I'm looking for an alternative method to download the file without the buyer being able to see the exact URL for the file. If he could see that he would have the opportunity to pass it on to his friends. If dishonest he could just as easily email the file to all his friends but I digress. Using the store's download procedure I can only get 46kps where as I can get in excess of 200kps by entering the URL to the file in the address box at the top of the browser. Ok now I have procedures that will check to make sure the person is logged in and he has downloads available to the file before the procedure will continue so what I need to know is there a way to after the checks are run just do the equivelant of entering the URL at the top of the box without actually allowing the user to see the URL to the file? The store uses PHP to do this and under Linux is extremely fast, but under MS server is slower than crap and never completes. I thank you for reading this, I probably gave more information than was needed, but I would rather err on the side of too much than too little. Bob Can someone post the code I would use to have a hyperlink on our webpage that would give visitors the option to view or download a pdf? Thanks! I am setting up a website to print free birthday cards. However I am not at all experienced in html. Basically I want the customers to print the cards without downloading the image. I thought I could do this perhaps by loading what I want printed in an iframe (???) The actual page will have the image with a watermark on it, and a printing link that prints the card without the watermark I'm trying to setup download links on my page. For exsample I have a file on my web server and I want a link that I can click on and it will bring up a download window. Can anyone PLEASE HELP! Generally when you click a link to e. g. JPEG image, it is open in browser window. When you click a link to a ZIP file, it is downloaded. Is there a possibility to force a browser downloading e. g. a JPEG image? Hai I am displaying a list of mp3 files in a html file. I want to provide download option for the mp3 files from the html file.

Thanks Sakthi Hi, I'm a photographer and I want to start posting portrait slideshows to my website. What I would like to do is have a simple HTML page with hyperlinks that when you click on the subjects name it will start the download for the slideshow. However, I would like for it to request a password before allowing someone to download the file. It doesn't have to be double super secret secure and is really more for keeping honest people honest. I would just like to have another step the might deter someone from downloading another person's slideshow. Any help with this coding would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Pam Hi, Im trying to put .pps or .ppt slideshows on my website but instead of playing the show, it wants to download. I thought they were working right at one point a long while ago, but nooooo...I must have been hallucinating! I would really appreciate any advice. page: http://jdsplace.us/vids/seriousvids/...worldpics.html the slideshow is beautyworldpics.pps code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Beautiful Views of Our World</title> </head> <body background="/background_images/b2.gif"> <a href="/new/lateststuff/lateststuff1.html"><img src="/gif/backblue.gif" border="none"></a> <center> <table border="4" width="60%"> <tr> <td> <center><font size="6"><em><b> Here are some fantastic photos of our world </b></em></font</center> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <font size="4"> Click the Blue button...may take a moment to load </font> <a href="/vids/seriousvids/beautyworldpics.pps"><img src="/gif/button43.gif" border="none"></a> </center> </body> </html> Please follow this link and observe how the page scrolls up after you have been taken there. It scrolls up because, unless you've been here before and have all the images stored on your computer, the images are continually downloaded and they expand the height of the page causing it to expand down and causing your browser to scroll up. Incidentally, the point at which you were supposed to be linked to ends up further down the page. Is there a way of preventing this? Is there a way of getting the browser to stick to the original point on the page where you were linked to? There are download managers (such as DAP, etc.) which can download parts of files from different mirrors and assemble them on the same pc. Your users will need one of these installed to download the file, or you could send them your own download manager. If using a ready made download manager they'll need to enter the urls of the two mirrors of the file.

First of all I have set up a script for mouse over sound over the nav, but when i mouse over nothing happens. Next I have set up another script that has random images but for some reason it has made the layout unaligned. Last, towards the bottom it has a blank spot for a search (for the web-site) could somebody explain how to create a search for the content inside the site.
