HTML - Display File For Download?

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 edit pages etc in frontpage 2003

I want them to be able to download it from the site and print it out to return.

Any advise on how to do this?

thanks

Thats the page it's to go on

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?

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.

Does anyone know how I can enable someone to download a file from my website? I don't know if this is html or not.

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!

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!

Hi all,
I need to have a link on my web page which allows the user to download a file on the c: drive of my web server. Basically when they click the link they will be prompted to download this file. Any ideas on how this can be done?

I tried the following on FF but it does not work...

<a href="file:///C:/testUpload/CA_P1470H_2008-1209-143322.xls">major_bob_12-09.xls</a>

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
I have a simple web page that contains an href link. When a user left clicks the link I would like to download a file. Testing the page local to my pc works fine, but when I uploaded in a Server, didn't worked correctly. Instead of downloading the file, it actually opens the file. What should I change?

I am using a vserver in Plesk enviroment if that is of any use. Should I change something to the server?

I need to create a link on my company's website. Once the users click the link, it should download an excel file.

the file is dynamic and it should change according to the person that logs in.. I am new to html. can you guys provide me ideas to do this...

Thanks

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

I have a website that needs to display a meeting day and location for a group meeting. The area this is displayed (and the format) is the same for each page of the site. Typing this into the code for each page whenever a location changes is a pain in the ass and I would like to just edit a text(or other simple format file) to have it call and display the text on all pages.

I don't want to call up a whole page in a frame though. That looks terrible and the site is nice and sleek

Thanks for the help!

I am new to writing html and have really had a tough time trying to find any info on how to do this. I want to have a folder with word/powerpoint documents in it and a list of download links to those documents viewable inside a div on a webpage. I want the list to be able to display whatever is in the folder so that it will update as the contents of the folder are updated. how would I go about doing this?
