Hi Rakhi,
I never saw anything to modify this default save folder using JavaScript.
I don't expect such a thing exists either because you own filesystem has
nothing to do with the ideas of of the author of some webpage.
It should be a client preference.
Also, it would make it very easy to infect webnewbies with all kind of
malware, simply by offering a download, and then overwrite some
important systemfile by modifying the path.
Why do you need such a thing anyway?

I was looking for a method for the user to get a file from my site and
save it to his computer.
I ran across this method: use a span tag with an onclick event like:
<span
onclick="document.location.href='http://mysite.com/files/myfilename';return
false;" style="cursor:pointer;
text-decoration:underline;">myfilename</span>

horizontally centered at the top of the page by my default stylesheet.

Hi I have a large pdf file that if I create an anchor link to, the
browser will try to open the file, which takes quite a long time. Is
there a way to force the browser to download the file rather than try
to open it?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
