Need a link that will start a download..

[Lattman]

Hey lads,


My web site is almost done, yet all i need is a quick tip on how to add a link to a pdf file that viewers can download, like a price list...

Your help is much appreciated,

Thx, one last question, where do I put the pdf file, within the index folder?

Hmmm...I believe I did not explain myself properly...Since this opens the file in question within my web site, what I wanted to do is allow my customers to start a download by clicking on the link...Can anyone help with proper code?

Thx

It's entirely up to the user and their configuration how the file is handled. There's not much you can do about it. One thing you can attempt is to put it in a compressed archive. Most users have their browsers set up to save a compressed archive rather that trying to handle it with a plugin. Beyond that, there's not much you can do, thanks to IE's second-guessing of the MIME-type.
