File download: save or cancel?

On downloading a file from a database, I need to update the database on the
status of the downloaded file (eg when it was downloaded and by whom).

How can I tell if the user has clicked save or cancel on the download
dialogue?

You can't really... you need to look at your logs to see if they
downloaded it, which means you'll need to grab their IP and grep for it in
your logs. Could take a while! And nothing to do with js. Sorry

We're creating a file sharing area in our intranet. When a user clicks on a link they can save the file to their computer. When the file is done downloading and the 'File Download' dialog closes I want to update the database to flag that file as checked out. Because we don't want anyone else to download it until the file has been re-uploaded. Does anyone know how I can know when the dialog closes? It would also be good to know if the...

I want to open a word document stored in my database. What I do is save the document locally, and then open a new winform that has the WebBrowser Control on it and navigate to that new file. This allows the user to manipulate the file and save it. When they close the WebBrowser, if the contents has changed I save it back to the db, and delete the local file. My problem is the "File Download" window that comes up. If the user

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
