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 don't want to have to right click the link & click save as,
and I don't want to have to zip the file.
I originally posted this in the HTML section, and was told to post here - http://bytes.com/forum/thread790863.html 3  2347  pronerd 392

You would want to change the HTTPResponse mime type to be a nonsense value like "applicatio n/download" or "applicatio n/unknown". This is not something you would do with JavaScript. It would have to be done with a server side language, or with the configuration of your web server.

I'll post this in the PHP section then?

in firefox, you could save the images as uncompressed png images. these could be opened using a weird mime type like mentioned above, but with the data being hosted by the client using a data URL. using the canvas tag provides an interface to the image data in firefox and opera.
would this code be of use you you?

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

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,...
