Dowload Dialog Box

message from mstarli on 22 Jul 2004
How do I get a download dialog box to launch when a file link is selected? The
file is a cmd file and I want it to be lownloadable and not attempt to launch
when selected from my web page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You have two options-
1. (very easy) Zip the file & let them download a .zip
2. (not as easy) Use a server side language script (PHP, ASP, Coldfusion, JSP,
etc) to force a download. To find out more about this method, Google for
"force download file PHP", replacing PHP with whatever server model you're
using.
