Right-click to download a zip file

[iemproductions]

Hello,

I think I have lost my mind. I created a page that has a variety of file types that can be downloaded by right-clicking on the file. For a reason that I can't figure out, the zip file link does not work. I am using dreamweaver mx under windows xp.

I've re-checked and the zip file is on the server and in the right location. Should the code be any different for a zip file, then a .doc or .pdf file? When I right-click on the link and select save as target, I get an html "save as" type. I would think that I should get a zip file type. I have winzip installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Zip files should work the same. Can you post the code you are using.

XP will try to 'unzip' with its own builtin (read crappy)compression fuction..IT may be causing it or making IE not recognise the file type. Seen this and it seems that in this combo there is a diff. between extension lettering...'file.ZIP' and 'file.zip'
Can you access the file with full url of

http://site.com/file.zip

and see if ur promped for download?
