Link save dialogue

[Amy]

Hello all,

My aim: To click on a link (or what looks like a link to the user),
and rather than the file linked to opening in the browser or what ever, the
save dialogue comes up so they can download it instead.

I would like this to work with images - "click on the thumbnail to
download a larger picture" - kind of thing. JPGs specifically.

Can anyone help? I'm sure it's possible in java script, I just can't
find it anywhere. I've found a few ASP scraps but nothing concrete.

Hope you can help, fairly urgent I'm afraid :-/

Thanks for your time, I'm heading back to my pile of books for the
night

Configure your server to send the following header for the file you want
downloaded:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filenamegoeshere

Wow! That's lovely thank you so much

Very useful bit of code

Would still like to know if it's possible in a client side HTML file, i.e.
using java script or such
