Unfortunately if the end-user's web browser knows the mime-type it will open the file in the browser (and not download it), as it just did in my Opera install. Because it is a button and not a link I can not right click the button and choose download.Damon Anderson, Business Director Corigo Vietnam --Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/ mail/Meanwhile, I've written to him and pointed him to the vi project's downloads page, which has only links. Whether he's after OpenOffice.org in Vietnamese or English, there are links to them on our page, and you don't need to read Vietnamese to pick out the right link from the table. ;)I hope he was looking for OpenOffice.org 2.1 Việt. :D
I heard back from this user (who manages a number of people who will use our translation :)) ). He also had a query about the security issue, which I've taken to the QA list.
But on the original topic: if he's talking about the green "get OpenOffice.org version 2.1" shown on http://openoffice.org, in my browser (OmniWeb 5.2.2 [1]), right-clicking on that button shows the image options, but it also still shows the file options (Download link to chosen folder for this site, Download link as..., Copy location, Add link to Bookmarks) and the Page submenu with all its options.
Do any mainstream browsers _not_ show the download options when right- clicking on an image which is also a link? I would have thought not. :S
I just checked Camino (Download Link Target) and Safari (Download Linked File), so all the OSX browsers support this.
