Forcing a SAVE AS

[jflavin]

Does anyone know how to force a SAVE AS for Netscape users who click on hyperlinks to
MS Office documents?

Yeah - i know, they can simply do a Right Click and SAVE LINK AS, but I'm getting a bit tired of saying that again and again to my end users.

Any help would be appreciated...

Hi,

Maybe you could point the link to a page that send a header("content-type: application/octet-stream") then send the document.

--- begin html ---

<a href=opendoc?doc=mydoc.doc>Document</a>

--- end html ---

--- begin php ---
<?php
header("content-type: application/octet-stream");

if ( fileexists( $doc ) ) {
readfile( $doc );
}
?>
--- end php ---
