Hi,

I want to make a html page( to put on Internet) with links.
When the users click a link from my page, the file (*.doc,*.xls,*.zip) can be downloaded by them. (the click event to open the download dialog).

Can you help me?

Many thanks.
 
Code:
<A HREF=&quot;filename.zip&quot;>Download my file</a>

They will need to right-click and choose &quot;save as&quot;.

If you want them to just be able to left-click to start the download then you might want to use a ZIPPED files then code the link in the same manner as above.

 
Hi mate,

It is a browser setting that determines whether the file is opened or saved, this setting is normally set for a reason, if the user would prefer to open the file in the browser, why not let them?

Hope this helps Wullie
