HTML - Html Code To Download A Pdf From A Link

Hello,

I am looking for a piece of HTML that would stop the scrollbar from automatically resetting to the top of the page once the link has been clicked and the new page is visible, as the website i am currently building is a portfolio container of sorts, and I have a load of images that I wish to appear to be on the same web page but when the "next" button is clicked it is merely taking the viewer to an entirely new page built of identical code but for the different image content.

I want the scrollbar to stay at the bottom of the screen (I have a page that is 1063px high with the images at the bottom) once links have been clicked on, and I would be very grateful if somebody in the know has the time to reply.

here's the as-yet unfinished web page. http://www.alexhaines.co.uk/footprints.html - click the links to the different housing projects (currently only the brevoort button works :-/ ) to see what I'm talking about specifically with the scrollbar defaulting back to the top.

Many sincere thanks in advance,




Alex

Hello, I am needing help finding out how to remove a link in my HTML slideshow code. I made the slideshow for this website using slide.com and want to remove the link behind it that directs you to their site! The slideshow is fine but when you click on it, it directs you to "Their Site", I don't want that. I was wondering if the code was embedded, please help! Here is the code:

<p style='visibility:visible;'><object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='http://widget-a3.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf' height='200' width='250' style='width:250px;height:200px'><param name='movie' value='http://widget-a3.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf' /><param name='quality' value='high' /><param name='scale' value='noscale' /><param name='salign' value='l' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent'/> <param name='flashvars' value='cy=ms&il=1&channel=2666130979436416163&site=widget-a3.slide.com'/></object><p style='white-space:nowrap'><a href

I have placed some mp3 files into a folder in my httpdocs.
Then I emailed the link to a file.

When I select the emailed link, the mp3 plays. But I'd like to download the file, but I don't see where/how.

When I right click the link, my only choices a
Select All
Look Up...
Translate...

The greyed-out (unavailable) choices a
Cut
Copy
Paste
Clear

Shouldn't it be when I right click the link the choices should be
Save
Save As

I'm using IE, and the same is true when i put the url in the browser of when I Alt-F. Save is still greyed out.

How can I do this correctly so it's easy to download the file?

Thanks.

hi,

can someone tell me how to write a link to force the download option to appear in the browser when my link to an XML page is clicked, not just open it as a page in the browser.

Cheers

Hi,

I like to know how to make a file download in a new window, like most sites have, I want to add some adsense in that page along with the link to the manual download link if automatic download fails.

Thnx

so basically i just want to put a download link on my website, where you click on it and the download thing pops up, just a file from my server
Probably an question that everybody will be able to answer, but Im a total newbie :-)
I know that is has something to do with a ftp client hehe

will be happy for any help,
thx guys and girls anyway :-)

Say for example i wanted to create a stream for an mp3 file, i would create an .m3u file with just the url location inside. Could i create some kind of extension for a 'normal' file such as a rar. or zipped file. Just the url location inside some kind of file?

I'm having trouble providing the best download experience for my users across all browsers. In my opinion, the best experience is to have the user stay on the same page and just have the save dialog box pop up. Here are three ways I've tried:

HTML Code:

<a href="installer.exe">download installer</a>
<a href="installer.exe" target="_blank">download installer</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="dynamicallyInsertIframeWithExeAsSource()">download installer</a>

All three behave differently in different browsers. Some will open a new browser window that covers the current one. Others flicker that new window briefly before closing it. Some will just whiten out the current page. I just want to know what method will work consistently across all browsers and not have new windows popping up, weird flickering, or whitening.

Is there a way to setup a link to download (or offer to download with the open/save box) a jpeg rather than display it in the browser?

Hello,

I can't seem to find the syntax which allows users to download a file by clicking on a link. For example, a user would click on a "Download" link which would pop up the download dialog box which prompts the user to save the file to their hard drive. Simply doing an a href link opens up and plays the file instead. Just to note, the file they would be downloading would be an mpg file. Thanks in advance for your help!

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

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?

Hi, I am building the download centre of http://www.i-conica.net
I have a directory structure similar to the image in this thread.
http://forum.i-conica.net/cgi-bin/fo...?m-1207092405/

The bottom image, my plan is to have the download page, with continually updated information on the new versions of software, put the software files in a separate folder and link to the folder, i thought if there were only one file in there ending .exe it would download it?
It doesn't it just displays the directory.
I wanted to be able to just throw the files in their own folder and not have to worry about changing links to the file. because the folder would remain the same.

Is this possible?
Thanks.
