download an image

[zigziglar]

I would like to click on a button, or link or the image itself to download it, thus eliminating the "right click...Save image as" step.

how can I do this???

thanks

You will need to use some server side language to set some headers... I explain how to do it with PHP here: http://www.infinitypages.com/research/download.htm

Sorry, but this does not help me at all.

I need something very simple like a javescript, or perhaps just something on the anchor that is going to force it to download.

Well, your only other option is to zip the files...

[zigziglar]

I was afraid you were going to say that...but I don't want to zip the files because I'm dealing with very amateur users.
I guess I can just put instructions on how to download them.

Thanks !

Yup, those are about the extent of your options... Good luck!
