How do I prompt a user to download a file rather than open it in .

[Guest]

I have hyperlinks set up to open files on my site, but I want to set it up so
that users are prompted with a download dialog box rather than opening the
file in the browser window. The only example I've found on other sites is
something called downloader.asp. My hosting providor does not support asp.
Is there HTML code that would allow this?

You would need to put it in a zip file.

.

Are you referring to pdf (opens with Adobe Reader), doc
(opens with MS Word), or .xls (opens in MS Excel) files?

Put them in a zip file and link to the zip file.
