HTML - How To Force A File To Open... And Force A Download (remove The Open, Save, Cancel)

I was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether or not this would be possible. I'm thinking it isn't but I need to make sure. I'd like to provide a file for people to download on my website, but when they click on the link and the download window appears I don't want them to have the option of opening it. Is it possible to only give them the option to save the file?

Sounds incredibly unlikely but I gotta know.

I have this;

You can download a <a href="hpswmtmreg.doc">Word Document</a> file, (click to open, right click to download).
<br><br>
You can download a <a href="hpswmtmreg.zip">Zip</a> file, (right click to download).

I thought it was simple, straight forward, but I get server errors (from my host).

Is there something special abpout .doc files or .zips for that matter. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

My IE is configured to automatically find the most rexent page, so when I address a website I see the current page. However, Safari and Firefox do not seem to have this optiion. So, when users address my website with those browsers they have to push the refresh button to be sure they are seeing my site's latest page. Yet when I use those browsers to access websites other than my own, I seem to get the latest page.

This suggests that there may be a way to include in a page file a code that forces refresh. I know that there is a code ("no archive") that does the job where a search engine is involved, but how do I handle this problems where my URL is being directly addressed?

Hello,
I have the majority of the content of my site on pages that load within an iframe within the main page. I was wondering if there was a script that I could use on the content pages that, when loaded outside the frame would redirect to the main site, with the appropriate page loaded in the iFrame.

Thanks in advance!

I have a website where some pages have no scrollbar, and some do.

For pages with the scrollbar, it looks fine. Because that's expected.

For pages without the scollbar, it bumps the divs to the right by ~15 pixels (because there is no more scrollbar).

Is there some type of script, or a way to setup a DIV, to force a scrollbar? Even if there is no overflow of content for the page? As long as I can force a scrollbar on the page, it should be consistent.

Hi all,

How do I force a single web page to update to its most recent content?

This file is being loaded from a frameset and when I load it in IE it doesn't update, I have to wipe all the temporary IE files in order to see the updated content.

Thanks in advanced.

I'm creating a webpage with multiple right-aligned images. Each chunk of text has an image associated with it to the right.

I'm having a problem keeping these images stacked on top of each other. If the chunk of text isn't taller than the associated image, the next paragraph and associated image sits to the left of the first image. I want both of these to sit below the first image. Currently, I'm using <br> tags to push the next paragraph down, but I'd like to avoid that. I hope I'm being clear.

Here's an image to illustrate what I mean:



The example above the blue line is what I'm experiencing. Below the blue line is what I want. I'd like to do this without tables.

Hi
You would think if you did a basic DW rollover that it should work in IE
Oh no!!!!!!
Can anyone shed the light on this:
Problem site
Basically the language selection and the menus should have a change of colour, which is basically a rollover image made in dreamweaver.
Menu seems to work here!
This is the same menu code used to make the menu and a PC friend says that the rollover affect does work. i.e: There are peppers in the background of the words.
Same code, two different affects.
Any light? please??? Oh, both use PNG and both sites have the same IE PNG fix code.
Did I state, its only IE that has the issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone. I have some links to excel spreadsheets on a website I run. Is there a way I can "Grey Out" the "Open" option when the links are clicked, therefore only giving the user the option to save the file?

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to restrict users (guests) from browsing straight to a page within my site. I would like to ensure that all users must access the site via www.mysite.com

Example:

User- browses to www.mysite.com/pages/interestingpage.php (or .htm)
I would prefer to force the "User" to click their manually via the links on my main page.

I imagine some sort of session would be required for this. However I do not wish to require users to log in.

I've heard that .htaccess or Apache's config file can be used but so far I have not been successful. I do have full access to the server/configuration.

Hoping someone can assist. Examples would be most ideal.

Thanks!

I have a form that contains a drop down list;
<select name="list" id="list" multiple="multiple">
When the user clicks the form's submit button I want to run a function that returns true if an <option> from that <select> object was selected and false if they forgot to make a selection. What is a simple way of doing this?

I was thinking that maybe there was an object method like;

if(document.form.select.optionSelected()==true)
{do something;
return true};
else
{do something else;
return false;}

I am very new with HTML and PHP and the code below I have a drop down select box and a submit button which uses PHP (this is from an example) But I need help on how to allow the user to select a report name from the drop down and click the Submit button and open a excel spreadsheet. If there is a simple way to do using HTML - that is OK. I just need some help getting started....



If "Position" is selected user clicks Submit button and the Excel file opens. First of all is that possible? And second then how do I accomplish? Thanks in advance.

Hello there, I have a html page that has links to files on it,, when a user clicks on a file it comes up asking for them to save, open or cancel. is it at all possible to add code to this line

<a href="ChainELinkClient\dotnetfx.exe" class="1">Install .NET Framework 1.1</a>

to make it so it will automatically open,, instead of asking for those options?
