I'm working on a AJAX page that is using a Flash based uploader for jQuery (Uploadify, it is nice and worth a look).
When I successfully upload a document, the uploaded file details are inserted into an area on the current page via DOM manipulation. The details contain a link to the script that will serve the file. The link is not a URL to a file on disk. The script reads a file designated in the query params and serves the output. I have something working but the interaction is not ideal. The problems are: (1) Clicking the link takes the user away from the page where the link appears. (2) Problem 1 was partially solved by putting a target="_blank" which opens a new window. that it better, but still isn't ideal. What I would really like is to not disrupt or move away from the parent page, and force the appearance of the standard Open dialog with either the "Save As" or "Open With" options. In other words force the file to be downloaded and not displayed in the browser (unless they choose Open With <favorite browser). Has anyone done this before? Is it simply a matter of setting the right headers and streaming the content?
