Hi all :
When I put the above in, it'll open the word doc up in a new Internet Explorer window.Code:<BODY>
<A HRef="MyFile.doc">Click Here For File</A>
</BODY>
How can I get this to download to the PC rather than open it up ?
You know when the sites give you a dialog box for where to put the file, then an all singing, all dancing MS progressbar for how long this'll take.
Is this easy ?
How can I do it please :eek:
Thanks !! :)
I'm sure there is another way that you are probably thinking of, that don't recall off of the top of my head, but...
don't forget the user can right click and say "save target as" or whatever.
You can also use <a href='ftp://myserver/mypath/mydoc.doc'>.
No idea, but I think it's more server dependent. Try to archive it and post the link.
I would just Zip it.
You have almost no control over how the browser handles a link. If Word is installed, it will open in the browser using IE as a container for Word. If not, it will prompt to download. JoshT is right, zipping it may be the only consistent way to get the download prompt. Unless some goombah has their browser set up to display zip files instead. :c)
BTW- This topic is now the most posted. Doesn't anyone read the posts anymore?
Thanks all ! :D
