HTML - Desktop Icon Link Question
I have a client that I just built a website for. This website is viewed by many different people. The client is wondering if it is possible to have a link somewhere on the site that automatically downloads an image icon to the users desktop. Once this icon is in place on the users desktop, they can click that icon when they want to go back to the web site.
He also stated he'd like an app button created for mobile devices. I think he's thinking these icons are one in the same. But from what little I know about creating an app, you need to know the Objective C language and the only way someone can get it is through an app store. He wants both windows and Mac users to be able to use this. Is this possible, or how should I go about approaching this another way to achieve the same thing? Thanks for any help or direction.

The user simply double-clicks an icon on the desktop which lauches the browser, etc. How can I do this? Anyone have a link to a fre script? Thanks! Chris I would like have the HTML code for my web pages that will put my tiger icon on my page shortcuts that I save to my desktop. I believe its an attribute in the body tag such as: <body logo=""> or something like that. When I put a web page shortcut on my desktop an icon for that page appears above the name. I can not find the correct tags by sourcing the page. When I save this page to my desktop an icon displays above the name. Please help. Thanks Walt I am trying to figure out how the user can click ANYWHERE on the webpage, and it will execute the 'Show Desktop' command (like in the quicklaunch -- for windows XP). The webpage will be used as the desktop background. I want the user to be able to click on the desktop background, and all other windows will become minimized. An onclick function perhaps, or something that executes "Windows key + M"?

I was just wondering if there was a way to get that code to run on my desktop to show that changing content? It would only be a box approx 270 x 110 pixels if it was on a webpage, hopefully the same size on the desktop. The piece of code in question is: <A HREF="http://www.kitco.com/connecting.html"> <IMG SRC="http://www.kitconet.com/images/sp_en_6.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]"> </A> I've searched thru the forum but found nothing that answers this question. Is there something out there that will take the html code and convert it into, say, an exe that will then run on the desktop? TIA I've got a bunch of tel: links on a site that work great with mobiles and desktops that have softphones but how can I tell the browser to not treat it like a dead link if no such application exists? Here's an example - clik on any phone number: http://sketch.uk.com/admin_contacts.php?menu=8 Hey there guys... I've been trying to make an HTML program that opens programs I direct it to. Now I have the layout all correct, it looks almost like a control panel with my most commonly used programs. I put hyper links on the pictures, but when I click on the picture that dialog box keeps opening! It's getting a bit irritating... Is there a way I can make them open with out keep clicking on open or save in the dialog box. I can't get notepad opened either! This is not web based just for my PC if that makes anything any easier! Also if there anything in JAVA that will be cool. I saw something to do with PERL but I cannot run the code on my PC, I think thats only web based and the coding is way to complicated! Thanks Hello all, i have a question to do regarding a link of a Website. I have a image at my website, with the following code: Code: <a href="http://l2.hopzone.net/vote.php?site=72176" target="blank"><img src="http://images.hopzone.net/lineage2/votebanners/lineage2-90x60-1.gif" alt="L2top" border="1"/></a> As we know, browser will look the href, in our example the "http://l2.hopzone.net/vote.php?site=72176", and it will redirect us, to this location. If now, i just copy from the code only the content of href, and paste it to a browser, it wont redirect me to the correct page, but at the main page of the pointing site. Well, can someone explain me how this is possible? When click the button from site, to redirect you to the correct page and when you just copy and paste the link, to redirect you to a wrong page? Thank you in advance PS: If you want to test it, visit my site from here and click on the FIRST image (green one) at the right side of the WebSite. hey everyone. well im pretty new at using flash. Im using flash basically to prevent people from stealing my image by right clicking on it. What i need to do is have a thumbnail of the flash image on one page and when clicked, it opens the full size image... heres the code i have so far but the link just isnt working ..... <a href="Catonstring3.swf"><object width="200" height="200"><param name="movie" value="Catonstring3.swf"><embed src="Catonstring3.swf" width="200" height="200"></embed></object></a> can anyone help me? Hi everyone. I need some advice. I currently run a website for the local snooker league here, http://www.ldbsa.co.uk, and I have a mobile version of the site, http://mobile.ldbsa.co.uk. Currently these are two separate sites, with a PHP script running on the pages to determine what browser and device is being used, and being re-directed to the mobile site should you be on a mobile device. My main issue with this is that I have to update both websites separately, as they are two compeltely independent websites, both pulling the same data in from a MySQL database though. What I would like to do, is to have the same website for both, with a different stylesheet loading depending on the device. This obviously has its advantages in that I only have to update the site once, but the disadvantages come when coding the site. One other method I though about doing is to turn virtually all areas of the site into database driven, including menu items, headers, references to images etc. This way, all I need to do is the write two different stylesheets for the main structure and look of the both versions. The main difficulty I see happening is coding a structure in html that will work for both mobile nad desktop devices. Is this the best way to go about it? Or would you advise keeping the two sites separate? I have a website for my company, and at the bottom I have a clickable button which gives access to "resources" such as manuals and diagrams which is only accessible with a username and password. I would like to add a button that automatically opens the remote desktop connection tool (mstsc) on the users machine, and ideally ammend some of the default settings of this (drives, sounds etc). I have no idea if this is even possible! Any pointers (or a simple NO!) would be great! How would I go about making one link open three windows/urls? I'm trying to make things easy at work and there are times when if I click a link that generated the three pages I need I would be golden, any tips? Thanks! i am new here and thank you what i am looking to do is i want to link a pic to a website so when you mouse click it it goes to website that i have figgered out what i cant is if the pic on his page changes can i get this link to change to what ever they change it to kinda like what face book does with are you interested they take you profiile pic and if it changes then the if you liek me pic changes but if you click on it it got to your profile thank you Here's what I'm up to: Made this scrolling desktop background on my Windows XP machine and found that the desktop icons, which appear transparent over a standard, static wallpaper, are no longer so when the desktop background is changed to an HTML one. That is, the text that displays as if typed with a drop-shadow over a static .jpg wallpaper image shows up over an HTML background inside a colored box. I'd like to get the "no box" effect, the standard XP text with a drop shadow, over the HTML background. Is this possible? hi, I have one question I have one index page <index.html> with iframe it displays: info.html, contact.html, and main.html it default src="main.html" if I creat a link from the other page eg. <hot.html> from <hot.html> I want to make a link just a single click it will go to <index.html> but in the iframe displays <info.html> instead of <main.html> how the codes should be like? Thanks. Hello all, I am a beginner and I am trying to create images horizontally that are also links. Hope that makes sense. This is the code that I can get to work but the links stack vertically instead of horizontally.
