I'm using Frontpage 2002 and I'm hosted with Third sphere and want to create the downloadable links so that after someone purchases from the site they are taken to a thankyou page were there is a link to download the digital product.
How do I create download link with frontpage?
How and were do i store the files on the hosting account?-does frontpage automatically do this for me?
The simplest answer is create a link with the product in the href attribute such as if your downloadable prodcut is in zip format it would look like this
<a href="myProduct.zip">Download Myproduct</a>
Now when a user clicks on the above link the browser should bring up the save as dialogue box.
You will need to save all of the files at your hosting sites folder that is assigned to you.
actually it doenst even need to be a zip. It can be any file type a browser cannot handle like you can just provide a link to a .exe file if you wanted too but thats beside the point
The info you have all supplied is exellent although i'm not sur how to go about yours Dave, but i shall do some reading on the subject.
Here is another problem i've come across:-
Just received an affilliate link http://www.webposition.com/d2.pl?r=QMA-55EC to send clients to. The problem is that when I.ve tried to place the address into my 'hyperlinks' in Frontpage 2002 it comes up:
-------------------------------------------------------
'there is no editor configure for PL files'
'do you want to save http://webposition.com/d2.pl to file?'
------------------------------------------------------
Question is what does this mean?
How hard it is to put your code in a text editor and try it with your browser???
FrontPage and the alikes might cause more problem then they help...
and I am positive most of the people in this forum don't even have FrontPage nor they use it..

Rock on, Notepad! I don't have DW (DreamWeaver), but I hear it's a really good WYSIWYG editor...
By the way, anyone have the XP version of Windows Notepad that they can send me? I need the updated version but I haven't been able to find it online anywhere--it's the one with the find/replace and status bar (for line and col).

Wait a second, back up here, Dave. I didn't know that was illegal! Honestly. I just was wondering if I could get my windows Notepad updated, that's all. I had no earthly idea that it was against the law. I'm really sorry!

we are talking about notepad right lol, cant you get it free off of ms.com anyway lol. Usually when people are going to pirate something its more pricy like windows server 2k3 or dreamweaver mx or windows xp pro or something like that. I dont think people would bother trying to get a pirated copy of notepad though like its really sought after.
I've got ME on my pc at home and I thought that I'd buy XP, simply because it's supposed to work better with AMD Athlon CPU's. It might have improved my PC performance not that I noticed but while it was installed I hated it, so if you want I'll sell you my copy of XP Home.
