Hi,<br />
<br />
what code do i insert into a html page so that a viewer can Download <!--more--> a word document?<br />
<br />
thanks<!--content--><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"file.doc">Link to document</a><!--content-->this way will open the word document in the Enternet Explorer,.<br />
Wheat if I want to make the file Download <!--more-->able? I mean, to ask the user if he/she wants to Download <!--more--> the file, or just opne it?<!--content-->I dont know the code but i know you will need a server side language.<!--content-->Sharkey is right to a degree, here is a relevent link with php <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.infinitypages.com/research/Download">http://www.infinitypages.com/research/Download</a><!-- m --> <!--more-->.htm . <br />
<br />
as i said sharkey is not fully right, you could archive the word document into a zip folder using WinZip and then link to that zip file rather than the original .doc this way the zip file will open with your default unzipping client and you get the chance to save to your hard drive.<br />
<br />
Hope that hgelps. <br />
Best Wishes, <br />
