Don, the following code should work in all major browsers - certainly I've tested in Firefox 3, IE7, Chrome, and Opera 9.
Here's the HTML: <button type="button" class="download" data-file="http://xyz.com/somefile.zip";>Download the File</button> Note how I've used a class there - instead of inline styles - here is the styling: <style type="text/css"> button.download { background-color: lightgreen; width: 150px; } </style> Finally, here is the scripting to use: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js";></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $j = jQuery.noConflict(); $j(document).ready ( function() { $j('.download').click( downloadFile ); } ); function downloadFile() { location.href = $j(this).attr('data-file'); } </script> This is all a lot of code, but it is a more reliable/flexible way of doing it, especially for when (not if) you need to extend things. Feel free to ask if any of this is unclear. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321188 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
