invoke download box

[mdanan]

How do I invoke a download box so my users can download an image file rather than right-clicking on it?

I've used the php version of it, yet my server doesn't support it.

Please help...

The simplest solution would be to provide the file in .zip format (or equivalent formats).

Is there any other way?

I mean, it would be kind of exhaustive for users to go through the zip program to open just one file.

You need to get your server to provide the Content-Type header as application/octet-stream instead of the normal one (such as image/gif). This is what the PHP script does, but you could in principle use any server-side language. I don't know of any way you can do it on the client side, however.
