I was wondering what I would need to do to make a link, when clicked, download an image with the save as window, instead of just loading the image inside the browser.
I also don't want to have to right click the link & click save as

I would think that you could zip your image file and then you should be able to download the file.

By default, browsers are set to open files with image name extensions in a browser window. If you wanted, say a .jpeg file, to be downloaded instead, you would need to tell the browser to not display .jpeg files, but then it would never display jpegs.

Whether or not this can be done with javascript, you would need to ask on that board.

Hallo, Does anyone have a (simple?) javascript code for me to prevent that people take the photo's of my website while they use the right mouse button. I know that there are ways around this and people can still get the picture, but in that case it is much less easier and only the handy people can get it then. That already helps.

How do I force a browser to download a file instead of displaying it? In other words I have a page with MP3 and WMA files on it and I would like for the visitor to download the file instead of play it without having to right-click and save. How can I force the browser to pop up the "save file as" dialog box instead of playing it? I know that I can encapsulate it in a zip file which will download and open WinZip. Thanks

Hello there, I have a front end database that I have recently made very many changes to to allow off-line use. I keep copies of the databases on my hard drive and link to them rather than the live databases on the network. Is there a way, via code, when I get back in-house from being on the road to click a button, and select the backends I want to link to? I would want to delete all the current links and link to the "live"
