How do I create a Download button

[Ankhkara]

I want to enable people to download pdf files from my website. I am a Dreamweaver user.

Is it difficult? can somebody help me please.:confused:

The easiest way is to zip them and then the browser will auto download it.

Or won't this do?

typically if you have a zipp file you want users to download,this should work.

<a href="someFile.sip">Download ZIP file</a>

Hope this helps

I tried it. It worked when testing it locally. But when I upload it I keep getting a error message telling me that the file cannot be found? Have tried many times.

Do you know whats happening. or is there another way of doing it?

[khalidali63]

the error is very descriptive that it does not find the file,now possible causes,
1.You might have spaces in between letters in the file name
2.the file must exist in the same directory where the html page is( for this example).

Hope this helps

Cheers
