Like John said, a button can be scripted to request a URL when clicked. <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="location.href = 'http://whatever'"> If you need to dynamically locate or process the file on the server side you can do something like this: (It's PHP code. Sorry. The HTTP part is the good stuff.) header("Pragma: public"); // required header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre- check=0"); header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Type: " . $mimetype); header("Content-Length: " . $filesize); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $name . "\";" ); ... followed by printing "\n\n" and the contents of the file. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
