I have a feeling that this is one of those things that is
so obvious everyone (except me!) knows how to do it, but
here goes. I'm creating a web site and want people to be
able to download templates and some executibles. How do I
create a download button and/or links? Thanks!

1. Import the files to be downloaded into your current open web, then create a link to each from a
image you have created or text you have entered, just as you would link to a page.

2. Depending on your web host, you may not be able to upload any .exe files, and depending on the
type of templates, when a user click on the link, they may open directly in the associated
application, the best solution is to make all the files into .zip file using Windows XP Compressed
zip file function or use WinZip.

create hyperlinks to the files.

suggest for the executables you put them in ZIP files and link to the zip
file.

nothing special about doing this.
You can create a "download" button if you wish in your favourite image
editor.

If you want to use a form button for a download link, in FP 2003 there is a
behaviour to make a hyperlink from a form button, or try this code (does the
samething as the FP2003 behaviour)

This came from http://javascript.internet.com


<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL BUTTON LINK:

1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original: Sven David Hildebrandt ((E-Mail Removed)) -->
<!-- Web Site: http://home.hia.no/~sdhild99 -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function goToURL() { window.location = "<<site>>"; }
// End -->
</script>

</HEAD>

<!-- STEP TWO: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<BODY>

<form>
<input type=button value="New JavaScripts" onClick="goToURL()">
</form>
