This is a choice made by the user or the user agent and isn't something you
can (or should) control. However, a file in .zip, .sit, .tar, or .hqx format
is often downloaded and not opened by user agents.

It's the same as a regular link:
<a href="http://www.blah.com/whatever.doc">My Document</a>

But depending on how their browser is set up, it may display in the
browser, or prompt for download.

what happens when a link is clicked is determined by the visitors
settings. if you want a download dialog to appear change *your*
settings, don't worry what other peoples settings are.
