Code for downloading files question

[Mike Burdick]

Hi,

On a web site I know pdf files can be downloaded by making a link to them but is there a way I can make them downloadable thru the download manager?

For example: When pdf files are downloaded by clicking on them it open adobe and then downloads each pages as needed. This sometime ties up the whole computer and is a pain. The best way I think to do it is to right click on the link and use "save link as.." and it goes thru the download manager. So...is there code that I could use that does the same thing as "save link as.." when someone just clicks on the link?

Thanks...

Just instruct the user to Right Click, Save as.

If they want to open it in their browser they will, if they'd like to download it they know how to do that themselves.

Doing it the way you stated is pushing your personal preference on the user.
