HTML - How To Prevent A File Download In Firefox
Hello Everyone,
I am putting together a web site that will allow folks to listen to some audio files (.mp3). I do not want them to have the ability to down load them. Do do this, I create an href to the file: <a href="birdcall001.mp3"> This seems to work fine in Microsoft's IE. Microsoft IE brings up the audio player and plays the file. However if I use the Firefox browser, a dialog box comes up and gives the user the choice to listen to the file or to download it. Is there a way to prevent Firefox from giving the user the option to download the file? New to this, but having a lot of fun! Thanks for any help! Steve Told you I was new at this. Additional testing shows: They can also download the file in IE by simply right clicking on the reference. So I guess the real question is "is there a way to allow users to listen to a .mp3 file, but prevent them from downloading the file" Thanks for any insight! Similar TutorialsI've noticed that *sometimes* my background image won't show up in Mozzila Firefox. My website is he http://www.surrealsource.com. Note that I said *sometimes* so it might download fine for you. But anyway, if you want to see the code, the only relevant part is this: Code: <body style="background-image: url('background.jpg');">
I have a lot of mp3's on my website for download. I want the download box to pop up when you click on the file so you can choose whether to save it or open it. It works fine in Internet Explorer. In Firefox it starts streaming the song in quicktime, which forces me to right click and hit 'save as' if I actually want to download it. Why does Firefox do this? I did find a few threads on this topic by searching the forums. Their solution was to use a lengthy php script. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this possibly with some simple html code. Thanks. Hi: I would like the senior folks of my mobile home Park to be able to download a .pdf telephone directory file of our 600 home Park. I have created the file, and I'll be placing it on my Apache Server -- probably in my '..\images\' directory. Question: Would someone please give me an example of the html code needed to download a file of this type ? Thank you. -Mel I have a scenario where a user uploads any file (any format) to a webserver, the webserver manipulates the file then allows the user to download the file. So far I can successfully upload a file to the server. However I am having trouble allowing the user to download a file. I read that streaming the file from the server to the user is better then providing a link to the file on the server. However with my attempts at streaming, I often find the file contents being displayed on the page. Whereas I simply want the file to be downloaded to the users hard disk, or preferably an option that allows the user to accept or decline before downloading the file. Could anyone please give me an example? Hi Guys I run a website for my pub/club and I want to add a button to a page that will allow visitors to download an application form for our new competition.

I would like to allow people to download a file from my site by clicking a button. I can display the button and direct it to the file but I don't know how to start the download process. I won't have multiple files, just 1 file. I was looking for a command but came up empty. how do i put up a file for download on a homepage? Hi all, I have saved files in a folder. Everyday I am saving file with same name but daily dates included in the name. I want to just send the link of the file everyday that I don't have to change the name of the link provided to the user but with the different name behind the link. When user click the link it should give user option to "open and save" dialogue box. For this purpose I have tried some option. A window opened behind dialogue box and after complete download it is not closing itself. So I have required following: 1. User to give option with open and save dialogue box. 2. The browser window should close itself after download file complete or it should open, just give open and save option. Hope everyone will understand. Zia. Is there any way to word a hyperlink so that it puts up the SaveFile dialogue so the user can save the hyperlink's target to their hard drive?

Now if you open this html page in safari or chrome. As the content of the div is overflowing and div's overflow property is set as hidden so no scrollbar is displayed(as desired). Set focus on input type text, keep mouse pressed and drag the mouse. You will observe that div's content starts scrolling(which was not desired). Now open this page in ff/Ie and perform same operation content does not scrolls(desireable). How can I make sure that div's content does not scrolls in safari too. Code spinet will help. You can test this by copy pasting the html content in a test page and open in safari or chrome? Thanks, Regards The following common code is not working in Firefox (3.0.11). It works in Safari (4.02) and IE7. When I say not working, I mean that when I click the submit button, the address does not change to the form processing url: Code: <!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
<!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
Send this file: <input name="mp3file" type="file" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
The file uploader.php does nothing, it is blank, I'm merely trying to establish communication. Once again, the code functions in IE and Safari so I dont think this is PHP related. Hi, I have a very simple website with a countdown timer on it (http://lemoeonline.freehostia.com/1.htm sorry about all the crap, it should only really have the countdown on it....I forgot to delete the rest). What I am wanting to do is have a separate webpage where users can download that page, but with a date they specify in a form. So, they would go to page a, enter a date, then download page b witch would have the customized code in it......Is this possible? Im not really sure where to start on this one, so im looking for any suggestions! Thanks alot, Lemoe |
