I have pages that I want a particular person to download dozens of images.
Instead of opening each image separately with right-clicks, I want to be
able to have them simply click, and the program will offer to save all the
images to a location they specify. Can I do that with JavaScript?

No. You can not affect the browsers settings. You may be able to trick the
browser into thinking they are a .exe by supplying an appropriate mime type.
This will often cause a download dialog to appear.
Why not throw the dozens of images into a single zip file.
Cheers
Richard.

Hi Richard,
The only way I could think of is creating a zip file of all the images
and creating a link to the zip file.
Hope it helps

Thank you both. I think that's a good idea too. However, my web space
provider, fortunecity.com , doesn't allow zip files. I'll try putting in my
Verizon personal web space to see if that will work.

The only way I know of that can do this is by specifying the content type
to be application/octet-stream. However, this can only be done through a
HTTP header that is set server-side (with PHP, and the like). I tried to
see if the content type hint (the type attribute in A elements) can
produce the same effect, but Opera certainly ignores it (it is only
supposed to be a hint, after all).

What I want is to have a link to a file (it could be a .zip, .exe, .jpg,
..txt or even .html) and when the user clicks on it they are prompted with
the Save As box, as opposed to it opening in the browser.
I think I need to do something like:
$fp = fopen($filetooutput, "rb");
$thefile = fread($fp, filesize($thefiletooutput));
header("Content-type: ???/???"); not sure what to put instead of the ???
echo $thefile;

I have a resume in PDF format and I want anyone who LEFT-OR-RIGHT clicks the link to

Since the PDF will be in his cache in any event, I would just as soon place the

salient reasons for this:
1. I want him to OWN the document
2. I want him to FIND the document, quickly, on his hard drive

Hi Guys,
Ok, so I have now figured out how to create and watermark and resize and
resample images for my website, but now I want to trap the "save picture as"
event so that I can create another image on the fly to stop people stealing
my images. Does any one now how I can do this. TIAF

FAQ Topic - How do I prompt a "Save As" dialog for an
accepted mime type?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not possible with client-side JavaScript.
Some browsers accept the Content-Disposition header, but this
must be added by the server. Taking the form:-
` Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.ext `
