I have a hyperlink : <a href="myfile.php"
class="icon_download">&nsbp;</a>
when the user click on the link i change the element class : <a
href="myfile.php" class="icon_loading">&nsbp;</a>
myfile.php create a pdf file a retunr it via header in php :
<?php
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfile.pdf"');
// Le source du PDF original.pdf
readfile('myfile.pdf');
?>
So, when the file is loaded and the popup is displayed to save it, i
want to swap the hyperlink's class to "icon_download"
