Download from FrontPage

[Guest]

Hi, It is quite simple to add downloads to web pages, but the problem is how
do you add the option of either "Open or Save". Currently the doc
automatically opens when you click the hyperlink.

Thanks

A browser can display more than one type of file. It can display images,
text, HTML, XML, and a variety of other file types, depending upon the
browser. How does the browser know what the file type is? Well, there is the
MIME type, which is in the header, but usually this is done via the file
extension, just like your operating system.

If the browser doesn't recognize the file extension as one it can open, it
will prompt the user to save or open the file. So, putting a Word document
into a WinZip file, for example, would do the trick.

Zip it and the user will be asked what to do with it.
