how to make a download button |
|---|
| message from David Plank on 19 Jul 2004 |
Is there an behavior or extension that I can use with Dreamweaver
MX to place a button on a page so that when a viewer clicks on it
an image file is automatically downloaded?

Zip the image file. Link to it as usual.

David,
What's your ultimate goal with this functionality?
You can always have the user right click on the image and "save as."
You could also save the image as a .zip file and then link to the .zip file
(via a button), and the file will download when the button is clicked.

On a company inranet, we want to have logos available for
download. I would rather not zip the files and not all users know
to right click on the image to download it.

Then just explain that on your page:
"To download these images, right-click on the image using your mouse and
select SAVE IMAGE AS..." (Actually, most modern OSes and Browsers will let
you just drag and drop the image from the page...)
The other option is to stream the files to the page from the server. But
this is overkill for something like this.
