select options for what file type you want to download

[Jasonc]

i have a two file type of a file to download and want them to select which
one they want and then to click a save button.

how can i do this


e.g. file one is a word doc
and file two is a html doc

they select with radio buttons and then click the save button to save it,
which in turm opens a save as box to select a place to save them to.



thanks

Jason, if you provide them a link to the files - their own browser settings
will bring up the download Save/Open dialog. If you're worried that
clicking the link for the DOC file might pop up word or have other
concerns, why not ZIP the files : file1doc.zip and file2html.zip

we hold many meetings and members only want certain files, i want to save
them time in allowing them to save just the files they want, i want to make
it easy for them. and i do not want to have them right click and save as,
cos sometimes they want all of the files and they would have to do this to
each one,

sometime they might be up to 100 files to get and they might only want 20 of
them, and not everyone will have the same ones. so NO i can not put them
all in a zip file, as they can NOT use these files. and they will never be
able to.

i think this is a better discription of what i am after.......

i have many files on the website and want to set up a page for them to
select the files they want by checked boxes and then for them to click the
last button which would be a DOWNLOAD button that would open a SAVE AS box
asking for a location on the pc where they are to be save to, and these
file would then be copiewd from the website to the location they have
selected.

batch saving, the files they have selected.

how can this be done???

what ever way it can be done let me know.

thanks

Yes that is a better description and what you describe is possible. No
