Save Picture As...

[Guest]

I have an interactive mapping website where there is a main map image. For
the map image, I over-rode the default right click menu to provide a popup
menu for mapping tools. Now my client has asked me to have the option to
save the image. I guess I should have seen this coming. On the browser
default right click menu there is a "Save Picture As..." option.

Does anyone know how I can get that option back, or use another way of
saving the image? At this point, removing the new popup menu is not an
option.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Glenn

with serverside code, the job is easy, because you can send a bitstream as
a download only.

Clientside only, try:

<img src='my.jpg' oncontextmenu='whateverYourCode();return false;'>
<br>
<a href='my.jpg' onclick='return false;'>
To download the above picture,
rightclick here and do a "save target as..."</a>

Thanks very much.

The client side solution works okay, but I'm interested in the server side
bitstream solution you mentioned. We are using Coldfusion. How would I
implement this?

Thanks

That depends on your type of server OS
and so of platform [ASP-Js, ASP-VBs, PHP, JSP, etc].

<a href='myJPG.asp'>
<a href='myJPG.php'>
etc

Please ask in a relevant NG for relevant bitstream coding.

I am not knowledgable about Coldfusion, but that seems OT here too.
