Help Needed in using HTML tag

[imranghani]

I am using anchor tag for a video file on server as follows:
<a href="abc.rm">Download</a>
When user click on download link, System automatically download file and start playing it in realplayer.

But i actually want that on click, A popup window should appear with option to save or open as it appears
in email attachements.

Please reply soon.

Replace it by

<a href="popup.html" target="_blank">Get it!</a>

a new window should be opened and in popup.html:

<a href="abc.rm">Open</a> Or right click to download.

It is the work of clinets to right-click mouse and select "Save as..."

Or if you really want a button to force save as, you may search from some search engine.

Hi,

read the following thread about how to force a file download:

You would have to replace the filename in your link with a php script that provides the download functionality.

I thought he wanted a javascript pop-up... easy enough sear to do, google it if that's what you wanted! Oh hell, I have one in my cute html editor:

<!-- This script will open a new window with the dimensions given below. "correct.html" is the
target web page that will be loaded into the window -->

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

Stuff=window.open("correct.html","Stuff", "toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=2,resizable=1,width=340,height=250") </script>

-->
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="self.close();">Close This Window</a>

And I threw in the close this window thingy too, HTH!
