auto download of a file

[Twey]

What is it with IE? I have these problems everyday. I had a JS problem, which I sorted out today thanks to you on another thread. This was also ONLY in IE.

Welcome to the world of the web developer.

So what will I do?

I'm not entirely sure. IE ignores the Content-Type header and tries to guess the content type by the content of the file. Something about your file is apparently convincing it that it's actually a text file.

That '.zip' file only contains a '.exe' setup file.
I'm going to try pointing at the '.exe' file and have that outputted without the '.zip' file. If it doesn't work, I'm going to sue M$. lol

Heh

As an aside, how did you get that brushed metal effect on your site border? I'm not much of a graphics person, and I've been trying to do the same thing with varying success for a while

It's easy.
Let me know what you want to do, and I'll do it for you.
Or I could create a patern for you which you can install on Adobe Photothop and then just reuse it everytime.

Ah, I see. I don't use Photoshop, sorry I was hoping there was a simple technique to create it, but if not, don't worry about it.

So Contrid, have you figured out how to give people the autodownload information so that after they have made their purchase, then they can go to a download ftp drive or something of the sort?

How do you do all of this?

If you do not want to post all of it to this site, you can write me at david@mindinthesky.com

Thanks,

No, s/he is using HTTP and PHP.

An "FTP drive?"
