HTML - Can Someone Download The Template For Me?

I have set up some document downloads with <a href>NameofDocument</a> , but everytime a user downloads a document a blank browser window opens and then comes the pop up to either save or open in Office.
Any ideas on how to keep this blank browser window from opening or being created.

Hi all

My Site is hosted on linux site and i have basic cgi scripts for page counters, but does anyone know how i can create a download counter for files which can be made visible to users. I want the content to be updates live on the site ( basic count per click )

Is this possible with html code or should i be looking at cgi

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

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:
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.

Don't get me wrong, I still want the php file accessible for the viewer to load it and use it but I dont want them view the source code or download it.

Thank you.

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 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?

Has anyone ever had trouble getting a PDF file to download from a link? On my site (http://www.banffridgechalets.com/design_plans.htm), I'm having trouble. It seems to start in Firefox but then cascades to IE (so if you try it only in IE, you may not notice the problem). You're supposed to be able to view a PDF by clicking on one of the thumbnails, but sometimes (not all the time) in Firefox, clicking on the thumb results in a blank page being displayed, and sometimes Firefox freezes. If I right click and select save as..., I can download the PDF but then it doesn't open when I double click on it.

Anyone ever seen this problem? Know a solution?

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.

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?
