This is more a server configuration thing than a client-side implementation idea. Please take a look at the "Content-Disposition" HTTP header [1] for more information. You can also find lots of documentation depending on your server back-end (for example, for PHP [2]). I guess you'll want to do something as: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.ext"; Regarding using this in qooxdoo, a tightly related thread [3] suggests using an iFrame for that: this way, you can even trigger the download by using a button or an event. ;-) Hope this helps, Helder Magalhães [1] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2183.txt [2] http://pt2.php.net/header [3] http://www.nabble.com/Download-Button-td21977617.html -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-force-a-download-%28like-plain-old-link%29---tp23252241p23252991.html Sent from the qooxdoo-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
