javascript code for downloading target file

[nabil9185]

hi,

i was looking for a javascript code which would enable straight downloading just by clicking on the link without going the 'right click and save target as' way. like i have this link and i want that when a user clicks on it it goes straight to the option of 'do you want to run or save this file' as we usually have it in the download pages. im in real need of this code so ive u have an idea kindly let me know.

thanks.

You can actually set the link to open right straight to the page by adding a "target" attribute..which would target to an "iframe" situated on your page.

Might be useful:

Code: Select all

<iframe name="myframe_targ" style="display:none;"></iframe>
<a href="link_to_the_download_page" target="myframe_targ">Download Now!</a>


The iframe needs to be hidden (display:none) so as it wouldn't hamper the layout on your page.

Hope that helps.
