HTML - Link To A 'save As...' Box Rather Than Causing The File To Open In Browser
Is there a way to have a link bring up a 'Save as...' box by default rather than having the link open the file inside my visitors' browser. More specifically, I have a long lecture on my site (mp3) that by default opens in my visitors' browsers rather than offering to be downloaded. I know visitors can right-click on the link to get a 'Save as...' box, but I would rather 'Save as...' be the default action whenever the link is clicked.
Similar TutorialsI have a pdf file that is the catalog for my business. Is there a way to make it so that i can create a link that says "view" and if people click on it, then the standard "FILE DOWNLOAD" box does not come up... and it just opens the file in a separate window.... and have a "download" link where if they click that... then it just downloads the file. I know that i am weird... but i think it would be something that not everybody has... and something that would be kinda cool. Thanks in advance.... Mark Ok still super new at this HTML thing, but I am going to be using Filezilla to access my friends index.html file for a little eding of the text. My question is can I open the file, edit what I need and save it all within filezilla? Or do I need to drag the index.html file to my desktop, edit, save and the drag it back to filezilla? For example, i'm using firefox and there is a link in one website. Now i want to open this link in IE. How to do it? Hello, hopefully you can help me. I have the following code, which opens a new internet browser window: <form> <p align="center"><b></b> <select id="setit" style="color: #0000FF" size="1" name="test"> <option value="">Please Select</option> <option value="http://www.nu.nl">nu</option> <option value="http://www.telegraaf.nl">telegraaf</option> <option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option></select> <input type="button" value="Go" onclick="window.open(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)"> </p></form> What do I need to change so the onclick opens the link in the same internet browser window instead of opening a new one? Many thanks, Ralfie Hello All, I am searching for a solution for a friend of mine. He has a new website, that runs perfectly in Firefox, and Chrome, however not in Internet Explorer. He runs IE6 in XP. Yes, i konw, IE6. The issue is that there is a program that will ONLY run in IE6. Upgrade IE, and it will not work. There is no option here. So what I am trying to find is some sort of coding that in Firefox / Chrome, that when that coding is reached (could be a plain .html or .php document) that ie6 will then open up for that page to be viewed. This will enable my friend, to use their new website in either firefox or chrome, however when that program is required, and they click on the link in firefox or chrome, then ie6 will open up and off they go. Any ideas? Chris. 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. Hi all, I have a page that has a lot of links that bring up a PDF form file in its own window. No problem opening the link and getting the PDF but when a user selects "save link as" it only gives them the option of HTML not PDF. Even more interesting the HTML option just refreshes the page. Any ideas? Thanks.

It has a webserver which is hosting a page (login.html) the pages takes in login and password and lets you login into a console. The client just need a network access to reach the webserver. However, for audits / database i want to save the text entered into the username/password field into a file on my server machine. What i need to do? Is there a client side script that i need to write to do this or i could do it with HTML alone. Thank you Hi all, I'm currently using the script below to resize a user's browser window when the site is opened: Code: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- window.resizeTo(850,630) --> </script> Is there a piece of code I can add to this so that the browser window cannot be resized? This isn't a popup window, just the standard window. Thanks in advance, Baskervillain. I have this site I designed, of course I like it perfectly in Internet Explorer but when I tried it in FIREFOX something gets messed up. http://idesrecordings.com/testindex.htm Basically, you scroll over the cagalogue numbers [ID03] etc. If you click on one, a new smaller window opens. This works perfectly in IE for me. In Firefox, when I click on it, the smaller window opens, and the background window a few seconds later follows and displays the small page fullscreen as well. Basically, I want the homepage to always be in the background, and these seperate pages to always be in the smaller windows. I'm on a PC, I notice in Firefox it works properly if you RIGHT click on the items, but most people are going to LEFT click, so... I need it to work the same as it does in Internet Explorer. What do I do?!

Hopefully this makes sense. I am working on the HTML help files for some software at work, and I need the weblinks (such as links to our homepage) to open in a new tab in all browsers that support tabs. It does this in IE8, and all FFX, but in IE7, it opens a new window instead. My code is essentially: <a href="link" target="_blank">blah</a>, which should work, and yes, IE7 I am testing in is set to open pop-ups in new tabs. It is the only browser I have tested that does not do this. I even tried replacing _blank with _new, but it did not work. I am using HTML 4.0 Transitional Doctype. Any help would be much appreciated. Hi Guys! Me again with a noob question... On this page : http://kunstler.ca/Coordonnees.html I have a GoogleMap image that is a link... But how do I make it open in a new tab or new window? I've tried some stuff on tutorial sites but can't get it to work. Thanks for the help... Maybe some day I'll be the one helping others! Dominick http://kunstler.ca |
